So there is a possibility to get the physical key locations from Cocoas NSEvent, which apple calls virtual keycodes. They are described as: > These constants are the virtual keycodes defined originally in > Inside Mac Volume V, pg. V-191. They identify physical keys on a > keyboard.

So it seems that using the Cocoa API it should be possible to get those physically located keycodes as they would be labeled on a standard ANSI US keyboard. Those are not the same as what QKeyEvent calls nativeVirtualKey, since those are the (layout-translated) keysyms according to the documentation. If Qt does not pass on the Cocoa virtual keycodes one would have to get them directly via the Cocoa API it seems. Not very desirable from an implementation point of view, but it seems there is at least a possibility to handle this independent of any keyboard layouts.
