Usage
Simply initialize a HotKey with a key and modifiers:
// Setup hot key for ⌥⌘Rlet hotKey = HotKey(key: .r, modifiers: [.command, .option])This is a convenience initializer that creates a KeyCombo for you. You can also initialize with a Carbon key code and Carbon modifier flags if you’re feeling old school.
Now you can set the keyDownHandler and get callbacks for when your hot key is pressed:
hotKey.keyDownHandler = { print("Pressed at \(Date())") }You can also implement hotKey.keyUpHandler if you’d like.
You don’t need to think about when handlers are registered and unregistered. This all happens automatically based on the HotKey object’s lifecycle.
