 **About**
-DDHotKey is an easy-to-use Cocoa wrapper around Carbon's global hotkeys, since no Cocoa equivalent 
-exists.  The purpose of DDHotKey is to provide as simple an interface as possible to creating and

+events, or "hotkeys".

+A global hotkey is a key combination that always executes a specific action, regardless of
+which app is frontmost.  For example, the Mac OS X default hotkey of "command-space" shows the 
+Spotlight search bar, even if Finder is not the frontmost application.

 **How to use**

 When you wish to create a hotkey, you'll need to do so via a DDHotKeyCenter object.  You may 
 alloc/init and release a DDHotKeyCenter object at anytime; it is merely an accessor to a static 
 NSSet, which holds the hotkeys in global memory.
