I have an NSTextField, which triggers a certain method when the user presses return/enter. However, I'd like to trigger the method whenever they press any key (when they edit the contents of the field).

Is there a nicer way to do this than using an NSTimer to poll the contents of the field periodically?

Yes--listen to the NSControlTextDidChangeNotification, or implement the controlTextDidChange: delegate method. However, depending on what you wish to do, you may be better off using a formatter.
