iPhone/iPad keyboard shortcuts?

Question

There\'s an action in my program which users need to perform very frequently (potentially hundreds of times per session), and I\'d like to add a keyboard shortcut for users

Under Cocoa for Mac OS X, you would gather modifier key information from the NSEvent passed to the keyDown: method in an NSResponder object. CocoaTouch replaces the NSResponder with UIResponder and NSEvent with UIEvent. The UI versions don't have documented keyboard event support. I'm guessing that Apple has extended UIResponder to handle keydown events, but hasn't publicly documented the changes yet. Unfortunately that means we'll just have to wait for that documentation to be able to read the modifier keys.

I think your current solution is a fine solution until Apple gives us a keyboard supporting UIResponder.
