If I understand well, your trying to catch event that match a menu 
item shortcut minus the shift key. Isn't it possible to override -
[NSApp sendEvent:] as you did, but instead of taking care of the event 
yourself, create a new event that match the menu item and then call 
super with this new event ?

- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent {
   if ([theEvent isAnHotkeyEvent]) {
       theEvent = [NSEvent eventWithTheKeystrokeAppKitWant];
   }
   [super sendEvent:theEvent];
}


I really don't know if it works, but it worth the try._______________________________________________
