What is this keyboard shortcut control?

Question

I've seen this keyboard shortcut control in several apps. And I like it a lot!

What is it? Is it available for using in own applications?

Answer 1

The control you are trying to find doesn't exist in the open source world. It is also not based on ShortcutRecorder, its completely custom.

Unfortunately I do not plan on open sourcing it, well, not any time soon if I do decide to open source it.

Thanks.

Answer 2

The Control you're referring to may be based on a Cocoa framework called ShortcutRecorder used to easily embed shortcuts and preferences to your apps. From the website:

It comes with an Interface Builder palette, it is customizable and resolution-independent, and it's already being used in applications. Thanks to its BSD license, you can use it too, and adapt it if you need to.

However, the control is no longer compatible with Xcode4 and you may prefer newer alternatives like MASShorcut. The project is actively maintained on GitHub and has a good documentation. You can check out the Demo here.

There are also some other interesting related controls like SS_PrefsController that can help build the interface part.
