But surely you've answered your own question. You know there is a field
editor and that the table view is the field editor's delegate. And you are
already subclassing NSTableView. Ergo...?

Example: You want the table view to do something special when the user
presses up-arrow while editing a table cell. So you could implement the
field editor's delegate method in your NSTableView subclass:

- (BOOL)textView:(NSTextView *)aTextView
  doCommandBySelector:(SEL)aSelector {
    if (aSelector == @selector(moveUp:)) {
        // ...

This is not the only possible architecture (another would be for the
window's delegate to return your own NSTextView subclass as field editor for
the table view) but it has a certain appealing economy.
