Catching key events in extension window

[franz]

Hi Frederik,

is there a way to catch key events in an extension window?

addObserver() for keydown/keyup seems only to work in the glyph view (as per docs)...

Best,
Franz

Hi Frederik,

Ouch, I will see if I can get this to work, may thanks!

The glyph view and space center are sending key events, there is not global key event notification

But to catch (key) events (or any other event) I guess it is the easiest to add a event monitor and a matching mask and a handler

see https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSEvent_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSEvent/addLocalMonitorForEventsMatchingMask:handler:

hope this works
