Contextual menus, views, and the Control key

Hi...

I RTFM'd and STFA'd[1] and couldn't find a solution for a problem I've had with views and contextual menus. This has been asked before by others, but no one seemed to be able to come up with a solution. So let me try asking...

I want to change how an NSTableView object responds to an event that brings up a contextual menu. So I subclassed the view and overrode its -rightMouseDown: event and did my work there. It worked with no problems.

But I realize that there's a whole lot of people out there who have single button mice and use the Control key to get contextual menus, and so I'd like to get my solution working with Control-clicking as well as the right mouse button. My problem is I can't figure out which NSView/NSResponder method gets called when a user Control-clicks the view. I already tried -mouseDown: and it mysteriously isn't called at all. It's obviously not -rightMouseDown: either.

So does anyone know what I might have overlooked? I know it's possible, since I've seen Project Builder do this... TIA...
