I'm using CGEventCreateKeyboardEvent and need to know what CGKeyCode values to use.

Specifically, I am after the key code for the Command key. The docs give examples for other keys: z is 6, shift is 56.

There must be a list of Mac virtual keycodes somewhere?

The more canonical reference is in <HIToolbox/Events.h>:

In newer Versions of MacOS the 'Events.h' moved to here:

Ohmicide Mac Key Code List

Below is a list of the common key codes for quick reference, taken from Events.h.

If you need to use these keycodes in an application, you should include the Carbon framework:

Objective-C:
#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

Swift:
import Carbon.HIToolbox

You can then use the kVK_ANSI_A constants directly.

WARNING

The key constants reference physical keys on the keyboard. Their output changes if the typist is using a different keyboard layout. The letters in the constants correspond only to the U.S. QWERTY keyboard layout.

For example, the left ring-finger key on the homerow:

Song mera gham hi akhir mere kaam aaya mp3 download. QWERTY keyboard layout >s >kVK_ANSI_S >'s'
Dvorak keyboard layout >o >kVK_ANSI_S >'o'

Strategies for layout-agnostic conversion of keycode to string, and vice versa, are discussed here:

From Events.h:

Macintosh Toolbox Essentials illustrates the physical locations of these virtual key codes for the Apple Extended Keyboard II in Figure 2-10:

Found an answer here.

So:

  • Command key is 55
  • Shift is 56
  • Caps Lock 57
  • Option is 58
  • Control is 59.
