Field editor delegate doesn't work

I have an NSTextField in an NSWindow (natch :). In the window controller's awakeFromNib: method, I call [[window fieldEditor:YES forObject:textField] setDelegate:self]. I then in that same controller have an implementaion of -textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementString:. The method is never called. I've verified this by placing an NSLog() at the top of the method, and I get nothing. How can I intercept key events relevant to the NSTextField in my window? Aside, of course, from my current horrible hack that subclasses NSApplication and overrides -sendEvent: to intercept NSKeyDown events and pass them on manually... I know, I could have just subclassed NSWindow's -sendEvent:, but at the time I hadn't done enough research into the event system to quite realize that :). In either case, I'd rather avoid subclassing altogether by using the delegate method. Modularity! Why require support from an NSApplication or NSWindow subclass to do something that can be done in window controller without even subclassing NSTextField?
