I am writing an application in C++ using CGL/OpenGL, and need keyboard/mouse input. I was trying to avoid Objective-C and Cocoa if possible. I am aware that one can capture input using Carbon, but seems that Carbon is slowly being phased out, plus it is not clear if it plays well with 64-bit applications. Does anybody know if there any other alternatives in OSX for mouse/keyboard input using C++ without going to something very low level (e.g. I/O kit)? Any code snippets to get me started?

Thank you-

    Quartz event taps might do what you want. Without knowing why you are trying to avoid using the Cocoa event system it’s hard to know what technology would be best for what you are trying to do.
