The following sample may help you:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/TextLinks/listing2.html
In file: Controller.m, there are some NSTextView delegate methods such as:
- (BOOL) textView: (NSTextView *) textView
   clickedOnLink: (id) link
   atIndex: (unsigned) charIndex

To make the given object the receiver’s delegate, you can use Interface
Builder or NSApplication's setDelegate:" method.

Also, NSNotificationCenter's "addObserver:selector:name:object:" can be used
to observe some notifications.

The Mac OS X equivalent is to subclass the view and override the method that handles the event, such as -keyDown:, -mouseDown:, etc.

But many classes, such as NSTextField, have either an action or delegate API that gets called when something happens, such as - controlTextDidChange:. If either a target/action or a delegate did- change method is present in the class (or superclass), then you should use them instead unless you really know what you're doing.

I would put the second paragraph here first, for emphasis. If you're dealing with anything that handles real text input--NSTextField, for example--then you definitely do not want to be overriding -keyDown:. The real solution to the OP's question is to start with some tutorials; any introductory set of Cocoa examples would answer these sorts of very basic questions, for which the answer is usually going to be "hook it up in IB".
