I would like to peek at every message that traverse the main queue.
Do you mean just your own application's event queue or all on the
system? Event taps are fine for either, but perhaps at too low a
level or too broad a scope. If you only want to monitor the events of
your own application, you might consider subclassing NSApplication and
overriding -sendEvent:. That will be limited, however, to the main
event loop. Modal event loops implemented around -
nextEventMatchingMask:... methods don't necessarily pass events
through -[NSApplication sendEvent:].
