No, I havnt tried that. I don't think its quite what I'm looking for.
Maybe I should explain it in a bit more detail.
The whole scenario is a bit complicated, but basically i have created
a custom view that contains an NSTextView, which is what the user
types in to. Now, I want the user to be able to type into this field
and edit it as normal, except when certain characters are pressed,
like "(" I want to be able to call a class method, and stop that
keystroke from entering into the textView.
So basically it is just a checking mechanism and also a blocking
system for certain characters, and a way to call methods via certain
keystrokes if you know what i mean.

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)
Have you tried using the
"textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementString:" delegate method?
