I want to be able to detect if the option key is being held down on launch. I found reference to GetCurrentKeyModifiers(), but that seems to be depreciated/not recommended.
Depending on when you're trying to check for the key down, I'd first try [[NSApp currentEvent] modifierFlags]. According to this weblog post <http://lipidity.com/apple/modifier-flags-launch/> though, calling -[NSApplication currentEvent] early enough during launch may just return nil.
A suggestion by Qwerty Denzel in the comments is to use Quartz Event Services (CGEvents), introduced in Mac OS X 10.4. <http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/QuartzEventServicesRef/index.html >
