Fetching global key events

I'm currently writing a MenuExtra and I want to create shortcuts for some items. But it won't work using the "keyEquivalent:@"G"];" parameter. How can I do this ? One solution I found is that I could use the carbon GetKeys method in a timer (GetKeys returns just the keycode, so I would have to implement different keymappings by myself). But I think there's a much more elegant way to assign a shortcut to a global menu, or ?
Short: I would like to have access to the global event queue and check it for key events and maybe create some virtual events ...

What about Carbon HotKeys (like what LaunchBar uses)?

Well, sounds good, do you know a link to a documentation (I don't know Carbon HotKeys and I'm currently sitting at a pc in school, so I have no access to my docs and can't download source ) ?
But this is no answer to my other question, how to create "virtual" events so that the system thinks that the user pressed a shortcut to copy/eject cd, pressed some keys or something like that ? Can anybody help me .... ?

do you mean: "this doesn't work" or "this is not what i want in my app"?
if it was the former, you are aware of the fact that "G" equals command-SHIFT-g, right? if you just want command-g, use "keyEquivalent:@"g"];"

It doesn't work ..., you can see the shortcut but nothing happens if you press the keys.
I'll test the carbon hotkeys they look like what i wanted ...

I figured out how these HotKeys work. My MenuExtra registers a carbon event handler and the hotkey. But then I have to start the carbon event loop !
If i start the carbon event loop my MenuExtra recognizes the hotkey but i can't move any MenuExtra anymore !
