Hi Quigley,

I am also trying this for study purposes. But not sure whether it is
possible to log down keyboard inputs by an application. You have any
reference links I can refer to start off. I tried searching but
couldn't find any reference.

Especially any reference to invoke keyboard etc. Because there are
applications for predictive text so I believe there should be a way to
monitor keyboard inputs through application.

Thanks In Advance.
