Thanks for the the response, Matt.

The "if ([[item identifier] isEqual:@"Search"])" is to avoid stealing key window status for any other pane beside the search pane. This is weird behavior I know, but since this is a palette-class input method, getting key status in most circumstances would break it. My palette window would end up sending Unicode input events to itself, not the host application. So I only want to be key when the user is entering text into the palette, and I force it to inactivate when editing ends or another tab is selected. Character Palette's behaves similarly with its search field.

Per your suggestion, I checked with an NSLog and the test is indeed working as designed.

Cheers,
