hi all, this is great, thanks for the help.
one issue is that the old carbon kEventTextInputUnicodeForKeyEvent delivered typed characters that should be inserted into (say) of text field the new [event characters] method delivers ALL keys -- so for example, an arrow key gets a unicode equivalent & now that is also getting typed does anyone know how to filter between characters that should be typed & other stuff? thanks, bill On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 8:14 AM, Shawn Erickson <shaw...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 7:12 AM, Bill Appleton > <billapple...@dreamfactory.com> wrote: > > hi all, > > > > thanks for the help > > > > the characters message gives me the unicode output, that is working fine > > > > but i am unsure how to detect raw keys, like arrow keys, function keys, > etc > > Take a look in NSEvent.h for various helpful constants or near the > bottom in the API docs [1].
