Thanks for the insights Keary.
I did indeed expect to get some of the behavior for free, but didn't.
This is probably due to the fact that I am using bindings to bind menu
items to controller actions. I guess one gets the free behavior only
when using target/action connections on the first responder.
Maybe the right way of doing things with bindings is to put the
controller into an NSObjectController and pull it out / swap it when a
modal window comes up. This would approximate the responder chain logic.
Best,
Pierre

What problem are you trying to solve? If you have menu items that are
enabled during certain modal sessions, and you specifically don't
want them
to, then you should look at your application design and adjust
accordingly.
So, I guess to answer your questions, I would say, "probably not."
Better to follow the ways that AppKit wants you to do things (such as
intelligent use of the responder chain), rather than jerry-rig a
band-aid
solution.
