Hi all,

I have a sheet containing multi-line text edit fields. Pressing return when one of these is the current responder causes the carret to go to the next line in the control, which is good.
The Ok button of that sheet is mapped to the return key as well, which is standard behaviour for sheets I guess.
But when the user is in one of the multi-line edit fields and he has finished entering text, he must reach for his mouse and click the 'Ok' button in order to dismiss the sheet. Alternatively he can press a few tabs until a subview that does not eat becomes the first responder.
As my application is very data entry driven, I want to minimise the number of times the user has to switch between keyboard and mouse and the number of keystrokes the user has to perform. There fore, I would like to map the Ok button to - lets say - both command-return and return. Is there an easy way to do so?

I think the standard in this case is to use the enter key (on the numeric keypad) to activate the default button. Does it work by default? It seems to me that it should, but I haven't tried.


Camillo
