Passing a keystroke through

[da...@thedavid.co.uk]

I'm trying to use Hammerspoon to display an alert every time I press Cmd-C (sometimes I hit the keys wrong and I only realise when I try to paste, which is really annoying).

The following code seems to get stuck – I imagine because the hotkey function gets called recursively through hs.eventtap.keyStroke()

hs.hotkey.bind('cmd', 'c', function()
  hs.eventtap.keyStroke({'cmd'}, 'c', keyDelay)
  hs.alert.show("Copy")
end)

Any tips on how I can get this working?

Hi David,

The following works for me, using hs.eventtap instead of hs.hotkey.bind to set up the binding:

hs.eventtap.new({hs.eventtap.event.types.keyDown},

  function(e)

    if (e:getCharacters() == "c" and e:getFlags():containExactly({"cmd"})) then

      hs.alert.show("Copy")

    end

    return false

  end

):start()
