Re: Writing a preference pane that configures hotkeys?

I use those classes myself in a preference pane (Popup Dock) and they 
work fine. You need to have a NDHotKeyControl to capture the event, 
you can create an input field in IB and change its class to 
NDHotKeyControl. You then need to tell the NDHotKeyControl to wait for 
a HotKey combination event by calling setReadyForHotKeyEvent:, you can 
alternativly set up a button to send a readyForHotKeyEventChanged: 
action.
