[Question] CGEventTap vs GlobalEventMonitoring?

Open georgesnow opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Curious is there reason REI doesn't look for GlobalEventMonitoring? I noticed using GlobalEventMonitoring (once registered in your Privacy settings like CGEventTap) has the same effect. It then allows an app to view all keystrokes while the event monitor is registered.

Or am I misunderstanding the use?

I am referring to this API:
