Capture keyboard input in a Max for Live device?

Question before I frustrate myself building something that won't work:

Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to capture computer keystrokes in an M4L device and prevent those bubbling up to Live's keyboard mappings? It would be fine, for example, if this could be done by checking whether the mouse was inside my custom UI element. I would like to make hotkey capability for the s4m.grid tracker widget.

thanks!

can one generally disable custom key mappings in Live using LOM ?

that way you could use mouse over your device state to do so.

Default ones for transport I don't think can be disabled.

On Mac, hi object can capture keystrokes no matter if Live or your device is in

foreground or not.

Not possible on windows.
