jnativehook does not work with latest OSX updates

[dasl-]

I get this error when trying to run keymusix. @pepijndevos maybe you could push the latest jnativehook jars to clojars and see if that helps? I'm not sure how to do that :)

Awww, the pain. JNativeHook is not my friend.

This is how to upload a JAR to Clojars: https://github.com/ato/clojars-web/wiki/POM

Actually, go talk to @Sidnicious about his typing tool. He ported this code to Swift for his app that also does things with the keyboard backlight.

Ah, yeah! I've been meaning to wrap up Keyboard Party and release a binary.

Once decision I'd like to make is whether to make it an app that runs in your menu bar, or give it a preference pane and have no visible UI while running. @dasl-, would a native Mac app do the trick for you, and if so which UI is better?
