Title
Body
I'm trying to create an OS X keyboard hook for assistive technology purposes (i.e. don't worry, not a keylogger). When a user presses a key, I want to prevent the real keypress and send a fake keypress (character of my choosing) instead. I have the following code: - (void) hookTheKeyboard { CGEventMask keyboardMask = CGEventMaskBit(kCGEventKeyDown); id eventHandler = [NSEvent addGlobalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:keyboardMask handler:^(NSEvent *keyboardEvent) { NSLog(@"keyDown: %c", [[keyboardEvent characters] characterAtIndex:0]); //Want to: Stop the keyboard input //Want to: Send another key input instead }]; } Any help accomplishing either of those goals? Basically modifying the NSEvent "keyboardEvent" to send a different character. Thanks.
