Hey all,
Ok, I have figured it out. Running as root did the trick. After this
worked, I wondered if I had left the enable assistive devices checkbox off
from a prior experiment, and behold it was off! My bad on that (and I even
said it was on in my original post).
I went back and read the

Hi all,
I'm having some difficulty with event taps. I am creating my event tap
from the 'awakeFromNib' function for my overloaded NSWindow.
The problem is that keyUp and keyDown events are never trapped in my
