NSTextView keyDown Question


  • Subject: NSTextView keyDown Question

Hi,

This is a relatively simple question i think, but basically i have an NSTextView and I want to be able to check out the keys that the user presses when they type. If the key is not a 'special key' (defined in the program - for example: "(" or "/" or return), then i want that key to get passed on to the NSTextView like normal.

I have tried subclassing NSTextView and over-riding the keyDown method, but when i do that, nothing gets passed on to the textView.

I then tried keyUp which is good, except that it doesnt fire on repeated keystrokes, say if the user holds down a key.

Is there some method i can call to just pass on the text/action to the TextField if the key is of no interest to the application?

(I tried using insertText, but that doesnt work for delete and arrow keys, etc)

Cheers

- Nik
