Could you take a look at Simon (speech recognition) on Mac

[Mario Fux]

Good morning

I'm in the process of releasing a last kdelibs4/Q4-based version of Simon - 
the speech recognition program of KDE [1]. This will be the first release 
after almost 4 years and after I took over maintainership last year.

During the last 4 years Peter (former maintainer) was working on a Mac port 
(see attachment) of Simon and this would be a new feature in this release but 
I've no idea about the status of this feature regarding the progress of Mac OS 
X/macOS.

So if somebody of you could take a quick look, try to compile it or even more 
that would be great and appreciated.

Best regards
Mario

    Implementing Carbon Backend for Event Simulation on Mac OS X
    
    Some responsibilities were moved from the implementation to the
    CoreEvents base class (like keeping track of keyboard
    modifier's state). A newly introduced PCEvents groups functionality
    that Linux and Windows share, but that does not apply to OS X
    (right now this is only the handling of "dead keys", which work
    significantly differently on OS X).
