// Map right-side Option to Enter in OS X

// Based on http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter2/alterkeys/.
//
// See http://henrik.nyh.se/2008/03/map-option-to-enter for what this application does.
//
// Compile like:
//   gcc -Wall -o opt2enter opt2enter.c -framework ApplicationServices -arch i386 -arch ppc
// and put the binary in /usr/local/bin. Then keep the app running by sticking

//
// Half-broken bonus feature:
// Enter is only sent if you press no other key at the same
// time; otherwise it still sends Option. So you can still e.g. use
// right-Option plus "." for ellipsis. Half-broken because you'll get
// a line break too, after you hit Option and before you hit "."
// TODO: Fix this by attaching to keyup instead? But then we'd need to
// make sure we don't send Option+Enter, and keep-pressed-for-multiples
// would become trickier.
//
// TODO: Respect other modifiers, so eg Ctrl+Enter works.
// TODO: Bit logic instead of just checking integer. Necessary for the "other modifiers" TODO.
// TODO: Keeping it pressed should send multiple Enters every few milliseconds.
//
// http://gemma.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Reference/QuartzEventServicesRef/Reference/reference.html
