Hi Eric,

I am working on a Postgresql Browser and read your reply to a questions
about detecting key events in a table view.

Your solution allowed me to replace:

if( !( ( [[NSApp currentEvent] keyCode] == ENTER_KEY_CODE) ||
([[NSApp currentEvent] keyCode] == RETURN_KEY_CODE) &&
([[NSApp currentEvent] modifierFlags] & NSShiftKeyMask )
)
) return NO;

with
NSString *characters = [[NSApp currentEvent] characters];
unichar ch = [characters characterAtIndex:0];

if( !( (ch == NSEnterCharacter) ||
(ch == NSCarriageReturnCharacter) &&
([[NSApp currentEvent] modifierFlags] & NSShiftKeyMask)
)
) return NO ;

I had felt uncomfortable with using keycodes. I had to write a
small program to get the return and enter keycodes...

( I intercept the enter key or shift return in the sql window to send the
current selection (or the line containing the cursor) to the postgres backend)

Jerry
