So I'm sending key presses to another application, like so:
- (void)keyPress:(int)hotkey withModifier:(unsigned int)modifier withKeyDown:(BOOL)keyDown{
// verify the process still exists
ProcessSerialNumber psn = [self myPSN];
CGEventRef keyEvent = NULL;
// create our source
CGEventSourceRef source = NULL; // this didn't used to be NULL, does this matter?
if ( source || 1 == 1 ){
keyEvent = CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent(source, (CGKeyCode)hotkey, keyDown);
// set flags for the event (does this even matter? No.)
CGEventSetFlags( keyEvent, modifier );
// hit any specified modifier keys
if ( modifier & NSAlternateKeyMask ){
PostKeyboardEvent( source, kVK_Option, keyDown );
}
if ( modifier & NSShiftKeyMask ){
PostKeyboardEvent( source, kVK_Shift, keyDown );
}
if ( modifier & NSControlKeyMask ){
PostKeyboardEvent( source, kVK_Control, keyDown );
}
if ( modifier & NSCommandKeyMask ){
PostKeyboardEvent( source, kVK_Command, keyDown );
}
// post the actual event
CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, keyEvent);
usleep(30000);
// post it again if we're doing key up, just in case!
if ( !keyDown ){
CGEventPostToPSN(&psn, keyEvent);
}
// release
if ( keyEvent ){
CFRelease(keyEvent);
}
}
}
Basically, I can send keys FINE if they are using a US Keyboard, such as sending: kVK_ANSI_A
The problem is with non-US keyboards, how can I adapt these keys to still send correctly if the keyboard layout is NOT set to US?
Here are the virtual key codes I'm having trouble with: http://pastebin.com/qXnXHb5M
Thanks in advance!
