Record escape key

[nrbrook]

Is there a way to record the escape key without a modifier? Thanks

Certain shortcuts are reserved by system. ShortcutRecorder uses old Carbon method to retrieve all such shortcuts (CopySymbolicHotKeys) and enumerate through them.

If match is found, error is reported.

In other hand, you can always disable this by adopting SRValidatorDelegate and implementing shortcutValidatorShouldCheckSystemShortcuts. Or you can subclass SRValidator itself.

It turns out there is a method to set this on SRRecorderControl, -setAllowsEscapeToCancelRecording:, and also -setAllowsDeleteToClearShortcutAndEndRecording:, which I was setting to YES and had forgotten about.
