Simplest way to capture "keystroke representation" to clipboard I'm trying to create a cheatsheet for an application I use frequently. the cheat sheet will contain the shortcut keys so I can know what to type.

Is there a simple way to capture keystrokes using Mac keyboard symbols into word or pages. Directly copying the combination to clipboard would be even more convenient, or a way to automate this entirely would be the best.

Eg: when I press "OPTION + COMMAND + P" it should save ⌥ + ⌘ + P to the clipboard or to the document.

Can I automate this documentation effort?
I wrote a tiny program for you. It'll type out any key combination you type, so after you start it, switch to Word with your mouse. You can exit it at any time with the escape key. I can share the source code if you want, there's not much of it: keystroke_grabber

If you want to make it easy to start, you'll have to drag it into the bottom right of the Dock where the trash can is, because it's not "Appy" enough to earn a space with the big boys (other apps).
