It's more likely that it's because the target apps are Carbon-based. I'm sure you'd see the same behavior regardless of whether your app is Carbon or Cocoa. The exact behavior may be dependent on the specific app, but it's likely that when the application moves to the background, its key window loses focus, and when the keyboard event arrives, the app doesn't know where to send it (because no window is key) and therefore ignores it. -eric _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
