Works only with Unicode keyboard layouts which need Mac OS X 10.5.

Modifier values:

Command Key	1
Shift	2
CapsLock	4
Option	8
Control	16

Possible constants for the Key Action:

kUCKeyActionDown	0	The user is pressing the key.
kUCKeyActionUp	1	The user is releasing the key.
kUCKeyActionAutoKey	2	The user has the key in an "auto-key" pressed state that is, the user is holding down the key for an extended period of time and is thereby generating multiple key strokes from the single key.
kUCKeyActionDisplay	3	The user is requesting information for key display, as in the Key Caps application.
