I am looking for Control+TAB or Option+TAB ...
... OK, here is the full story: ;-)

(Perhaps you know LittleSecrets; if not, you can take a look at it on
http://www.littlesecrets.de)

I have an NSOutlineView and an NSTextView in a window. If I am in the
OutlineView and press the TAB key, I can jump from the OutlineView to the
TextView. But I can not jump back, because there is instead a Tabulator
inserted in the TextView, of course.
A few weeks ago, if I pressed Control+TAB, I _could_ jump from TextView to
OutlineView. But this suddenly does not work anymore! I don't know why.
Does anyone know?

So I choose to implement it myself to be 100% sure Control+TAB always works
and does not depend on some mystic system behaviour. ;-)

Bad news: I successfully subclassed NSTextView now (thanx to Peter Horn!)
and I override keyDown. But it is NOT called, when Control+TAB is pressed!
Anyone knows why?

OK, I choose to use Option+TAB now ... I can filter that in keyDown.

Some more bad news: I tried to jump to my OutlineView with
[window makeFirstResponder:outlineView];

But this also does not work?!?
Again: Does anyone know why? ;-}

Thank you,
Mani
