Generally speaking, the correct approach is to leave

you implement the

the responder chain.
This general idea was my first thought, but searching
through the documentation didn't seem to yield any
real world examples. If I do reconnect the Cut, Copy,
and Paste menu items back to the First Responder; how
could I get those events in my view class?
Look at the Sketch example (/Developer/Examples/AppKit/Sketch). Look
at the main menu in Draw2.nib. See how these menu items are still
connected to the First Responder? Now look at SKTGraphicView.m, which
contains cut, copy, and paste methods. Finally, look at
SKTDrawWindowController.m, particularly its windowDidLoad method. See
how the view is made the first responder of the window? This makes
the view part of the responder chain when the window is the
application's main window.
For more details on the responder chain, see the link Malcolm
referred to in an earlier reply:
