I am looking for a way to get a simply MS Windows WM_KEYDOWN alike
message (notification) when using a NSTextField.
Not sure you really want that. If you want to handle keyboard
shortcuts, keyDown: would probably fit the bill. But keep in mind
that NSTextField doesn't just do ASCII. It does all sorts of
international character sets, some of which use several Unicode
"characters" to express an actual character (e.g. Japanese and Chinese).
So, you may want to have a look at the NSTextView and NSText
delegate methods, some of which give you an NSString with the Unicode
"character" sequence for the character last entered when they notify
you one was entered. Each NSTextField uses an NSTextView called the
"field editor" to do its actual work.
On my web site, my UKSyntaxColoredTextDocument, for example,
creates an NSTextView and registers for its delegate methods to
actually change the text as you're typing it. It's probably not 100%
international-safe yet, but at least safer than using keyDown: directly.
