  Nah ... if he only wants to listen for the function keys when the
app is active, creating an NSApplication subclass and overriding
-sendEvent: is sufficient. If the key code / flags is what you want,
dispatch the message however you wish, otherwise call super.

  It depends, though, what behavior you're looking for. In the case of
laptops, the function keys control media playback, volume, display and
keyboard brightness, and a number of other things. Consider that when
dealing with function keys.
