An alternative to this is what I did for my calculator project: in IB just set
the associated key for the button to the symbol. Then when "+" is pressed,
the button "+" will call its attached method as if it were pressed. No need
to go playing with keyDown events and if your button code is working, then
this is an instant fix.
