I was thinking if it’s possible to press a key (as a) with Cocoa. I already searched in the web, but I don’t found anything. Actually, I don’t want to use AppleScript or Python to do it. Just cocoa.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance!
I’m not entirely sure what you want, but you can work with system wide events through EventTaps.
Quartz Event services reference
I’m not entirely sure what the appstore allows, I do know my app with a listening event tap has been approved. There are 2 types of taps, filtering and listening => their names are both pretty straight forward. I think using a event tap you should also be able to post new events.. ( thus fake a key press.. )
