macOS Global keypress detection

[paintstripper]

I am writing software that charts efficiency and activity over the course of the day. Is it possible to count the number of global key presses for just the alpha numeric characters?

A solution in c or c++ would be awesome, but at this point I will take anything. Thanks guys!

Thanks,

If I understood what you wanna do, I suggest you to use:

 - (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEven

This way you can detect when a key is pressed.
