Mostly I am annoied that the requirement to be first responder exists at all. Having to notify the window that you want these events makes sense from an efficiency point of view, but often (in my cases anyway) I want to track the mouse moved to do highlighting in places where I am NOT the first responder.

Hi Michael,

If you are doing highlighting on mouse over, you might want to look at the documentation for tracking rects and -mouseEntered:, -mouseExited: messages instead of using -mouseMoved:. Using tracking rects requires a bit more setup, but it is an efficient way to handle these kinds of highlighting, and it doesn't require being first responder.

Hope this helps,
- Greg
