<Sigh> I wasted so much time doing this in code. I suppose this is
documented somewhere, and I just never noticed it?
Will the nib file work when you run the app under Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar?
A code way to do this is to put a few lines of code in -awakeFromNib, like
this:
unichar rightwardsArrow = 0x2192;
[[self myMenuItem] setKeyEquivalent:[NSString
stringWithCharacters:&rightwardsArrow length:1]];
[[self myMenuItem] setKeyEquivalentModifierMask:0]; // Command key
