If you create a status bar app with no windows, how do you respond

  • 0

If you create a status bar app with no windows, how do you respond to events?

My first guess was creating an subclass of NSResponder and override the appropriate methods.
However they never get called.

This lead explicitly calling:

[self becomeFirstResponder];

Which also didn’t work (and I don’t believe is recommended by the Apple Docs)

Is there some way to get my NSResponder subclass in the responder chain?

    Of course the answer is simple:

    [NSApp currentEvent]; 
    

    returns the current event in any cocoa app.
