I need hardly say that this makes no sense to me. Programming by guesswork

are telling you (i.e. it's nil because no text field has a field editor) or
you figure out an approach that works. m.

I'm trying to determine the focused text field in order to decide whether to focus a particular other text field. If nil really means that no text field is active, then that's also a good time to change the focus, so it works either way. That's why I'm comfortable with this approach.


It's not guesswork. It's just that, for whatever reason, one situation that I want to check for (text fields A or B being focused) gives me instead the result for a different situation (no text field is focused), but for both situations I want to do the same thing (focus text field C). It doesn't always work out this way, but for this case I've found an effective solution.
