I have a NSTableView setup with a NSTableColumn which consists of the default NSTextFieldCell. The table is populated using a NSArrayController (bindings). I allow editing of the entries in the column via double click and (in another case) sending editColumn:row:withEvent:select: to the table view.

What I want: Editing a cell and pressing return ends the editing, setting the selection to the edited entry. Best case: the app/controller/whatever gets notified about this event.

The impossibility to do this cleanly is, far as I know, one of a surprisingly small number of faults in the Cocoa-based GUI.


Of course, in a dynamic object system anything goes, albeit sometimes kinda ugly way :)

The solution looks kind of like this (it's possible there's a better one: this one used to be arguably the best available a few years ago -- meantime API was improved, *perhaps* making this hack obsolete):

will these not work in this situation?:

- (BOOL)control:(NSControl *)control textView:(NSTextView *)textView doCommandBySelector:(SEL)command
{
if( command == @selector(insertNewline:) )


and:

[theWindow endEditingFor:nil]

i just used those in a subclassed NSTextField to get end editing (including removal of highlight and focus ring) on return press but maybe the situation is different with the situation described above. i don't know.
