+---
+
+Improvements:
+
+- Added support for modifier-only shortcuts
+- The `*ShortcutMonitor` family of classes considers the `isEnabled` property of its actions before installing any handlers
+- The `SRAXGlobalShortcutMonitor` uses Quartz Services to install an event tap via the `CGEvent*` family of functions.  
+Unlike `SRGlobalShortcutMonitor`, it can alter handled events but requires the user to grant the Accessibility permission
+
+Fixes:
+
+- The control now shifts the label off the center to avoid clipping if there is enough space
+- Better invalidation for re-draws
+- Handle and warn when AppKit throws exception because NSEvent's `characters*` properties are accessed from a non-main thread

+ ### Configuring Modifier Flags Requirements
+ `RecorderControl` allows you to forbid some modifier flags while require other.
+
+ There are 3 properties that govern this behavior:
+ - `allowedModifierFlags` controls what flags *can* be set
+ - `requiredModifierFlags` controls what flags *must* be set
+ - `allowsEmptyModifierFlags` controls whether no modifier flags are allowed
+
+ - Important:
+ The control will validate the settings raising an exception for conflicts like marking the flag both disallowed and required.
+ */

+//    requiredModifierFlags: [.command, .shift], // ⌘ and ⇧ are required
+//    allowsEmptyModifierFlags: false) // at least one modifier flag must be set
+/*:
+ ### Modifier flags only shortcut
+ `RecorderControl` can be configured to record a shortcut that has modifier flags (e.g. ⌘) but no key code. It may be useful for apps such as graphic editors as they often alter the behavior based on
+ modifier flags.

+ The control is configured by default to cancel recording when the Esc key is pressed with no modifier flags. As a side effect it is therefore impossibe to record the Esc key.

+ ### Clearning the recorded value with Delete

+ A number of transformers, subclasses of `NSValueTransformer`, are available for custom alterations.
+
+ #### KeyCodeTransformer
+ `KeyCodeTransformer` is a class-cluster that transforms numeric key codes into `String`.
+
+ Translation of a key code varies across combinations of keyboards and input sources. E.g. `KeyCode.ansiA` corresponds to "a" in the U.S. English input source but to "ф" in the Russian input source. In addition, some keys, like `KeyCode.tab`, have dual representation: as an input character (`\u{9}`) and as a drawable glyph (`⇥`). Some glyphs may be sensitive to layout direction, e.g. `KeyCode.tab` glyph for right-to-left languages is `⇤`.
+
+ - Note:
+ The ASCII-capable group is recommended as it provides consistent behavior for all users. It's what `RecorderControl` uses unless `drawsASCIIEquivalentOfShortcut` is set to `false`.
+
+ There are 4 subclasses in the cluster:
+
+ - `SymbolicKeyCodeTransformer`: translates a key code into an input character using current input source
+ - `LiteralKeyCodeTransformer`: translates a key code into a drawable glyph using current input source
+ - `ASCIISymbolicKeyCodeTransformer`: translates a key code into an input character using ASCII-capable input source
+ - `ASCIILiteralKeyCodeTransformer`: translates a key code into a drawable glyph using ASCII-capable input source
+ this is the only class in the cluster that *allows reverse transformation*
+ */
+//print("Symbolic Key Code: \"\(ASCIISymbolicKeyCodeTransformer.shared.transformedValue(KeyCode.tab) as! String)\"")
+//print("Literal Key Code: \"\(ASCIILiteralKeyCodeTransformer.shared.transformedValue(KeyCode.tab) as! String)\"")
+/*:
+ #### ModifierFlagsTransformer
+ `ModifierFlagsTransformer` is a class-cluster that transforms of modifier flags into a `String`.
+
+ There are 2 subclasses in the cluster:
+ - `SymbolicModifierFlagsTransformer` translates modifier flags into readable words, e.g. Shift-Command
+ - `LiteralModifierFlagsTransformer` translates modifier flags into drawable glyphs, e.g. ⇧⌘
+ */
+//let flags: NSEvent.ModifierFlags = [.shift, .command]
+//print("Symbolic Modifier Flags: \"\(SymbolicModifierFlagsTransformer.shared.transformedValue(flags.rawValue) as! String)\"")
+//print("Literal Modifier Flags: \"\(LiteralModifierFlagsTransformer.shared.transformedValue(flags.rawValue) as! String)\"")
+/*:
+ #### Transformers
+ Both are helper classes that can transform instances of `Shortcut` into Cocoa's `keyEquivalent` and `keyEquivalentModifierMask`. This allows to bind key paths leading to a `Shortcut` to Cocoa controls directly from Interface Builder.
+ */
+//print("Key Equivalent: \"\(KeyEquivalentTransformer.shared.transformedValue(shortcut) as! String)\"")
+//print("Key Equivalent Modifier Mask: \"\(KeyEquivalentModifierMaskTransformer.shared.transformedValue(shortcut) as! UInt)\"")

+/*:
+ ### Shortcut Monitoring
+ `GlobalShortcutMonitor` and `LocalShortcutMonitor` allows to perform actions in response to key events. Instance of either class can associate a shortcut (an object or a KVO path) with an action (a selector or a block).
+
+ `GlobalShortcutMonitor` tries to register a system-wide hot key that can be triggered from any app.

+//globalMonitor.addAction(action, forKeyEvent: .down)
+/*:
+ `LocalShortcutMonitor` requires you to call the `handle(_:, withTarget:)` method with a key event and an optional target (for selector).
+
+ `LocalShortcutMonitor` is designed to be used from:
+ - `NSResponder/keyDown(with:)`
+ - `NSResponder/keyUp(with:)`
+ - `NSResponder/performKeyEquivalent(with:)`
+ - `NSResponder/flagsChanged(with:)`
+ - `NSEvent/addLocalMonitorForEvents(matching:handler:)`
