Key Bindings: determine if a key is already set

Subject: Key Bindings: determine if a key is already set

When a user decides to choose some key binding for a standard action (say moveForward in a textView), is there anyway to determine if an association has already been made (so you could warn the user)?

From my read of the text input system, the only way to do this would be to subclass the NSView, create and send a key down event through interpretKeyEvents: , and override doCommandBySelector: and insertText: .

However, I don't think that will work as some keys initiate a mark sequence, so the it starts getting messy fast.

Is there a better way?

David

PS: is there existing code to programmatically read the key binding dictionaries? Would that be a good way to do this? _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
