Capturing key events

Subject: Capturing key events
From: Greg Hurrell <email@hidden>

I have an NSView in which I am trying to capture combinations of key
presses.

In this view I provide a - (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent method.

Can anyone tell me why is it that I can capture things like
"Command+F10", but not, "Command+5"?

When I try to capture things like the latter, I just get the system
beeping at me. And my keyDown method is never even called... (I know it
must have something to do with a lot of those command+key combinations
being reserved for use by menus, but I am still curious to know where
this stuff is being intercepted.)

Thanks for any light you can shed on this topic...

Cheers
Greg
