in InterfaceBuilder, open the menu object, then just double click on

in the "Key-Equivalent" field. Now, in the Inspector panel, you can
even add
modifier keys like Comman, Option, or Control key.
<Sigh> I wasted so much time doing this in code. I suppose this is
documented somewhere, and I just never noticed it?
Will the nib file work when you run the app under Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar?
Yes, IIRC the nib works on Jaguar. The only problems I ever had were
with single character key equivalents (no modifiers). The menu's would
display fine under Jag, but pressing the key did nothing. I had to
subclass and override keyDown:.
The only key equivalent that required code for both Jaguar and Panther
was the space key. For that I had to fake the key equivalent in IB by
adding few spaces to the menu item's title and then typing out "space".
Also, it could not be set by using setKeyEquivalent: once again you
have to override keyDown:.
