Keyboard handler
Is there a header or library that supplies access to the keyboard so that a program might capture statistics from the keyboard? In other words, can i gather information from the keyboard while the program runs as a kind of background service? I mean this other than stdin or stdout.
Is there a MFC class or function that can do this at all?

If you are using Windows, you need to install a "system" (aka global) keyboard hook function.
