Hi,
I want to have the arrow keys as the key equivalents for some
menu items. Is there an easy way of doing this in interface builder.
I had the same need recently. I could have sworn I'd seen a thread
about it, but I couldn't find it on Mamasam. Anyway, here's what I
did.
In IB, select the menu item, and double-click on the area on the
right end of the menu item where the key equivalent should be
displayed. It becomes highlighted with a rectangle. Press
Command-arrow and you get what you need. It might take a couple of
tries. I found IB sometimes interprets my Command-arrow as "move the
selection in IB."
If you can't get this to work, you can also copy-and-paste from the
nib file of another application (I used OmniWeb). Select the menu
item, go to the Inspector, and copy that funny character in the
Attributes pane for the menu item. That's what I did for my left and
right arrows, but I've since found that it is possible to type those
in directly.
