NSTableView rows and delete key

Hello,

I can't find anything in the NSTableView documentation about this, although it could be already implemented, as it is a very frequent feature in applications.

I would like that, if a row (or rows) is/are selected (so if the table view is the current key view, if I understand well),
if the user presses the backspace button on keyboard, it deletes the row(s) concerned.

I read the 'deleting multiple rows' topic on the list, but what I need is more essential :

Do I just need to activate this as an option ?
Do I need to receive a delegation/notification ? (I don't want to create a 'delete' NSButton, which would be very easy, of course); I cannot find any delegation/notification about key pressed.
Do I really need to subclass NSTableView to do so ? (for such a basic feature ?)
If necessary, can I know if the table view is the current active key view ?

Finally, a philosophical question : is there always a lot of ways to do a single thing in Cocoa (as in Perl, for example), or are there cases where there is only one possible way ?

Well, I'm sorry for this flow of (maybe stupid) questions, but things are not yet totally clear for me in Cocoa.

Thanks,
R.D.
