I would go for the second one. I would guess that the second one would pick up all the various Enter keys, whereas the first would only pick up a single key. The second also looks much more elegant to me. I do not have any experience with this; I am merely saying what looks best from my point of view.

One way to check to see if the enter key has been pressed is to:

[theEvent keyCode] == 0x04C

where 0x04C is the keyCode corresponding to the enter key.
(Is there an Apple defined constant for this key code?)



Another way, found at:

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/TrackBall/listing9.html

is to do:

NSString *characters = [theEvent characters];

switch ([characters characterAtIndex:0])
{
   case NSEnterCharacter:
   case NSNewlineCharacter:
   case NSCarriageReturnCharacter:
}



My question is which method is the preferred or recommended way to detect this key in onKeyDown?

Is there a better way?

Thank you.
