Thanks for the tip, Corbin, but I'm still a little confused. Why
does my custom table view support arrow-key navigation when it is
*not* inside of a tab view? Making it a subview of a split view or
basic custom view doesn't disable the arrow keys; why should putting
it inside a tab view (using the "Make subviews of" menu in IB) make
any difference at all as to whether super's keyDown: is being called?
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi, all. I wonder whether I've found a possible bug with the
Cocoa GUI system. I have an NSTableView that I subclassed for
delete-key and escape-key support, amongst other things. For some
reason after I put the table view inside of a tab view (as the
only child view of the first tab view item, I might add) the
default (untouched!) arrow-key support stops working.
My key-handling code is as follows:
- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)event {
consumedKeyDown = NO;
[self interpretKeyEvents:[NSArray arrayWithObject:event]];
if (!consumedKeyDown) [super keyDown:event];
}
- (void)doCommandBySelector:(SEL)selector {
consumedKeyDown = [self tryToPerform:selector with:nil];
}
(Where consumedKeyDown is a BOOL instance variable set to NO in -
awakeFromNib.)
Switching the table's class back to a regular table view solves
the problem, as does commenting out the one line in -
doCommandBySelector:
I haven't been able to find anything in the docs or in the
archives to explain the lack of arrow key functionality that I'm
experiencing. Does anyone have any pointers? Is the tab view
interfering with the arrow keys somehow?
The keyboard nav for tableviews is handled in [super keyDown:].
Chances are, you aren't calling it. You may want to special case
those keys to let them through.
