macOS Convert NSString to KeyCode.

[DeDMakar]

I use function CGPostKeyboardEvent for Keyboard Event. I need to convert NSString in KeyCode. What offers?

Are you trying to convert it to a CGKeyCode? CGKeyCode is just an unsigned short essentially, so NSString's intValue may work (typecasted of course), but it depends what the NSString value is. Can you give an example?

I have a variable of type NSString *sStr = "password". Each letter I enter by means of CGPostKeyboardEvent. The letter "p" and following must to convert in CGKeyCode.

Check out the keyCodeForKeyString() function here:

If there are no other variants, it is necessary to use this simple function keyCodeForKeyString. Thank!!!
