Your comment only pertains to the addGlobal... You can use addLocalMonitor to only snoop on events in your process. From the header: ===== Use +addLocal to install an event monitor that receives events before they are dispatched by -[NSApplication sendEvent:]. In this case, your block should either return a valid NSEvent (which may be the same as the incoming NSEvent, or may be a newly created NSEvent) to cause the event to be dispatched, or it may return nil to stop dispatching of the event. Note that your handler will not be called for events that are consumed by nested event-tracking loops such as control tracking, menu tracking, or window dragging; only events that are dispatched through -[NSApplication sendEvent:] will be passed to your handler. =====
addLocalMonitor is 10.6 only and you can view it as a somewhat similar to installing a handler on the Carbon event dispatcher. If you want a solution that works on systems before 10.6, consider either overriding NSApplication sendEvent, or using a local (process specific) event tap.
