Hello, I have a question about how properly keyboard shortcuts should be handled. For example "pressing key X performs action W". How to ensure that this will work with all keyboard layouts (Cyrillic etc)? Currently I am checking key down event characters, but that is a wrong way, because when layout is changed to Cyrillic that does not work. I thought that would be great to use keyCode to check which action should be performed. But then I remembered German keyboard layout - it has Z and Y mixed. Keyboard button, which has label "Z" in US layout produces keyCode 6, and button with label "Y" produces 16. In German layout codes are the same, but labels swapped. Take iTunes as example. With US layout enabled, pressing Cmd+Y calls Preferences. Meanwhile to do the same in German layout you need to press also Cmd+Y, but "Y" button is not the same as in US and produces different code. I am wondering - how to check incoming key down events to achieve that functionality. I am sure, that checking characters is wrong way. Better would be to check keyCodes, but not perfect. Is there a third way in Cocoa? Help would be very appreciate.
