Global hotkey stuff using carbon example code.
What is OSX? What is Obj-c? Who am I?



.h
#import <Carbon/Carbon.h>


.m
EventHotKeyRef gMyHotKeyRef;
EventHotKeyID gMyHotKeyID;
EventTypeSpec eventType;

- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
    eventType.eventClass = kEventClassKeyboard;
    eventType.eventKind = kEventHotKeyPressed;

    InstallApplicationEventHandler(&MyHotKeyHandler, 1, &eventType, NULL, NULL);

    gMyHotKeyID.signature = "whoknows1";
    gMyHotKeyID.id = 1;
    RegisterEventHotKey(49, NULL, gMyHotKeyID, GetApplicationEventTarget(), 0, &gMyHotKeyRef);
}

OSStatus MyHotKeyHandler(EventHandlerCallRef nextHandler, EventRef theEvent, void *userData)
{
    printf("So like the key was pressed or something?\n");
    return noErr;
}
