Check for keyboard input accross all running apps?

Hi all,

I need to monitor the keyboard to see if it's being used, not
just by my app, but system wide. Is there any way to do this?
I don't really need to know what keys are being pressed - only
that the keyboard was used on some fashion. TIA!

Get the {*word*53}ch component from the Super Delphi site - it even comes with a
example.
