I need to get a list of mounted local volumes on Mac OS X. Previously, the Cocoa class NSWorkspace had a mountedLocalVolumePaths method for getting the array of mount points for such volumes. Since Lion, this is now deprecated, with no hint in the documentation about what we should use instead. The only other Apple-specific API I have found which provides this information is the FSGetVolumeInfo function from the CoreServices.framework. This enumerates the mounted volumes if you pass kFSInvalidVolumeRefNum for the volume parameter and 1..N for the volumeIndex . It returns the volume name (as a

JXA , with its built-in ObjC bridge, exposes enumeration and constants from the Foundation framework automatically via the $ object; e.g.: $.NSUTF8StringEncoding // -> 4 However, there are also useful CFString constants in lower-level APIs that aren't automatically imported, namely the kUTType* constants in CoreServices that define frequently-used UTI values, such as kUTTypeHTML for UTI "public.html" . While you can import them with ObjC.import('CoreServices') , their string value isn't (readily) accessible, presumably because its type is CFString[Ref] : ObjC.import('CoreServices') // import

Given a key-code for a key pressed without modifiers, I want to produce the result of pressing the shift+key. Example: For a standard US keyboard <shift>+<period> gives >. The relevant function is UCKeytranslate, but I need a bit of help getting the details right. The snippet below is a full program ready to run in XCode. The intent of the program is given <period> to produce the character >. The result of the program is: Keyboard: <TSMInputSource 0x10051a930> KB Layout: U.S. (id=0) Layout: 0x0000000102802000 Status: -50 UnicodeString: 97 String: a Done Program ended with exit code: 0 The part
