To quote one of my previous answers:
Yes, but here's what's happening if I use previousKeyView: nothing.

I have a table in a split view which is inside a tabview. i need to shift-tab toan nssearchfield that is on the same level as the tab view. but i just can't get it to work. nextKeyView on the other hand works just dandy. plus i also connected everything in IB, so the problem should not be there.
See, previousKeyView returns nil. Setting it programmatically would require me to find out if full keyboard access is turned on or not, because I need to select different items based on this. Which takes me back to my original question.

Alternatively (since no one has come up with suggestions that work)

What doesn't work? The window will receive a setPreviousKeyView: call when
the user presses Shift-Tab, so you are free to override if you want
something special to happen. m.

Hi there, I'm looking for a way to determine basically the opposite
of nextResponder, i.e. what the responder would be if i hit shift-
tab.
Is there a way to do this?

You're just confused. Tabbing has nothing to do with the responder chain. It involves a convention where the window moves the focus to the next key view. And guess what, NSWindow has nextKeyView and previousKeyView methods. m.
