|  | I think I have finally found out the reason for CocoaDocs ignoring
our markup: I have indented the documentation by four spaces, which
was interpreted as “code” by appledoc. Trying now without the indent,
that should finally help. |

|  | This adds a really simple API to set up some bindings without having
to keep a binder instance around by hand. If somebody wants to, it’s
not a problem to allocate a separate instance and have precise control
over its lifetime. |

|  | This makes it possible to customize the way the shortcuts are stored
in user defaults. The default options call for the keyed archiver
transformer, deserializing the shortcuts from NSData. | 
|  | This is a big change that was hard to split into smaller commits. There’s now
a new class to bind shortcuts to actions, a new class to bind user defaults’
keys to actions, and a new way to associate user defaults with the recorder
control (MASShortcutView). I have also updated the demo app to go with the
changes.
The new class to associate shortcuts with actions is called MASShortcutMonitor.
It wraps the Carbon hotkey magic and offers a simple interface to add a
shortcut along with a block that should be run when the shortcut is pressed.
It’s the lowest-level interface.
Since the usual requirement is to store the shortcuts into user defaults,
there’s also a higher-level interface offered by the MASShortcutBinder class.
That takes a defaults key and associates it with a block. When the shortcut
stored under the defaults key changes, the binder automatically switches to the
new shortcut. The class is a wrapper built atop of the previous one, the
MASShortcutMonitor – it simply adds, updates and removes shortcuts as the
user defaults change.
I have removed the special user defaults integration code from the recorder
control (MASShortcutView) and replaced it with a small Cocoa Bindings shim.
This means that in order to keep the recorder control in sync with the defaults
you just have to call the usual bind:toObject:withKeyPath:options: method,
like this:
[_shortcutView bind:MASShortcutBinding
    toObject:[NSUserDefaultsController sharedUserDefaultsController]
    withKeyPath[@"values.ExampleDefaultsKey"
    options:@{NSValueTransformerNameBindingOption:NSKeyedUnarchiveFromDataTransformerName}];
That’s more verbose than the previous solution, but it’s much cleaner and can
be swept under a convenience call if needed. I might also add a dictionaryValue
property later that would make it possible to bind the value to user defaults
directly, without a transformer, and would enable backward compatibility with
Shortcut Recorder. |
