If it were me, I'd look for "finish editing", "terminate editing",
then "end editing" before hitting on "endEditing". Since I'd
be searching the AppKit.pdf first, I'd be wading down through
it to get to the right one. If it were [something else] in Foundation,
then I'd have to close AppKit.pdf, open Foundation.pdf, search it.
If it were in one of the other assorted docs, I wouldn't find it
until going to ADC, choosing "Advanced Search" because the regular
one flat doesn't work (doesn't even display a form field or let a
search string be entered), and then wading through the (statistically
expected) huge numbers of false positives to get to the right one.
He said he found an "endEditing" for NS Cell, but hadn't for NSWindow.

Why didn't you read about the field editors attached to windows?...
Just because "field editor" doesn't immediately jump into mind
in that context of a text field, even though we discussed them
here a number of weeks ago. I'd be likely to remember the concept,
but not that precise name; so I might look for "field manager",
"input manager", "editing manager", "input editing", "edit input",
"input editor"... And without that name, a search wouldn't quickly
find it, unless it were cross-indexed in some fashion.
And, of course, running across it a dozen times will certainly help.
