Re: OK on Enter, not Return



Quoting James Walker <email@hidden>:

I have a dialog containing an NSTextField and an OK button.  I'd like
the Enter key to act as an equivalent for the OK button, but the Return
key to add a line break to the text.  What's the best way to do that?

I believe that you might do some magic with -keyDown: -- I'm sure that someone else will have more knowledge about this -- but bear in mind that the latest-gen MacBooks (of which I have one) do not have separate Return and Enter keys -- just one. (Maybe the fn button changes it, but even if so, users would have to figure that out.) What about making alt-Enter/alt-Return add a newline, while leaving Return and Enter both to do the job of activating the OK button? Hope this helps, even if only a little!


Cheers,
Andrew
