Does anyone know how to capture events in Mac OS X? My problem is that I need to intercept e.g. MOUSEKEYDOWN or maybe KEYSTROKE before the event reaches any application. My goal is to prevent the event or change the data it may contain. I read something about the kEvent class, but I can’t find it Some samples to understand how to start programming with it.
Try Quartz Event Taps. You can explore how they use Event Taps Testbench or read the documentation.
