My initial reaction to that is, you want to turn 'full keyboard access' into 'keyboard access to only the things in the tab view'. What if somebody has full keyboard access turned on because they have difficulty
using the mouse? [...] Perhaps that's the reason it doesn't work the way you want.

That's a good point.

It doesn't apply in my case (I provide menu shortcuts to switch between the various tab views, while on the other hand the equivalent buttons that I want to exclude are customized buttons that look very ugly when highlighted by that blue outline), but I can see why you would want to generally prevent that.

I have now used subclasses for the buttons I want to exclude that simply implement - (BOOL)acceptsFirstResponder {return NO;} and that does what I want.

I felt that was unduly expensive for something that should be doable in Interface Builder, but taking your point I feel it's OK.

Then again, maybe you are overly generous to Apple here. I mean, in a plain simple content view of a window you can exclude whatever controls you want simply by omitting them from the nextKeyView sequence ...

Bye
