I wanted to show a hidden menu item in the Window menu when the option key is pressed. Similar to the way the Finder's Go menu behaves with the user Library menu item.
I was able to use the NSMenu delegate methods to do this by using a CGEventTap creating or re-enabling the tap in menuWillOpen: and disabling the tap in menuDidClose: This works well and the callback calls a method ( with some void* bridging to the app delegate object ) to set the menu item hidden and enabled states and update the menu. However, I also tried and failed with NSEvent global and local monitors. So, I have a few remaining questions. Do menus receive events before the application itself? Is there a better way to do this? It feels like using a sledgehammer for a butter knife. Would this be sandbox compliant at all?
