Christopher,
you could use an NSView subclass going into fullscreen, then set
yourself as the next responder of its window. Just implement mouse/
keyDown for your NSView’s subclass. Call super if you don’t need the
event.

Hello,
I'm writing a fullscreen game using Cocoa. I need to intercept
mouse and key events for my game's usage, but I'd also like to
forward them on appropriately if my game code doesn't handle them
specifically (e.g., adjusting volume, screen brightness, opening the
CD/DVD ROM drive, Command-Q, etc.).
Since my game is fullscreen-only, I don't define any windows, I just
subclass NSApplication. I'm planning on providing event handling
methods in my application (e.g., mouseDown, keyDown, etc.) and
overriding sendEvent to call my application's methods for the event
types that I'm interested in and falling back to [super
sendEvent:anEvent]; otherwise.
The difficulty I'm having is what I do with key events, for
instance, that are not needed specifically by my game code. I've
thought of either (a) returning a bool to indicate whether my game
code used the event and using [super sendEvent:anEvent]; if it did
not or (b) using [self nextResponder] to send it along. The latter,
of course, is consistent with the Cocoa event handling guide, but
since I'm not using the standard Cocoa UI (windows, menus, etc.)
with my fullscreen-only game, I'm not sure it's the right thing to do.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Christopher
