I will look into that, thank you so much!

Hello, Your understanding is correct about those goals, and I understand I should use CGEventTap for this. However, in addition to doing so, I would like my app to be able to post keyboard events (specifically only shortcuts) as well. So for a simple example let's say I want to 'remap' the command key to command+option+s (just for example sake). My app should detect when command is pressed, and then be able to "post" the event for the shortcut command+option+s. I hope this clears things up. Thank you for the help!

Thank you for your reply. I understand that I should be using CGEventTap to try and monitor the input I need. I am still confused though about if it is possible to trigger actions like shortcuts from my app. For example, if I want to implement a functionality where my app can programmatically trigger a global shortcut, is this possible? When I say global, I mean being able to trigger the shortcut such that it works in whatever app is active, not just my app. I think the way to do this is through the .tapCreate in CGEventTap, but I don't think that can be accessed with just input monitoring permission in sandbox. Would it be possible to request an exception to allow something like this inside my app? Thanks again!
