TIS API is deprecated #173
Description
Hi
I've tried to solve the keyboard shortcut problem and came accross the MASShortcut project. Really nice work. I tried a similiar approach using the deprecated TIS API.
However there is a reason apple dumped it: It doesn't work for all cases.
For example that API doesn't map the cut/copy/command cmd+c,v,x correctly.
There is an easy to use API in NSEvent:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsevent/3242717-characters
That can be used instead the old carbon API and seems to work in the use cases I tested. It behaves a bit different but it's the way to go for us. The TIS API fails for example cut/copy/paste cmd+cxv keys on cyrillic layouts.
Hope that helps.
Note: Just checked the korean keyboard. The characters from the event need always to be taken into account as well unfortunately. It's quite complex to get key bindings working correctly.
Note: Situation is worse the new api doesn't recognize shift+option+. on korean - but the TIS does. So it's needed to query both APIs :( - it's a mess. But it solveable if the characters from the event, the new API and TIS is combined.
