Well, you can always use NSCarriageReturnCharacter instead.

Also, Finder handles the Enter key as well to start editing. For that, use NSEnterCharacter.

How foolish of me to have not suspected that the key codes for ASCII control characters would "obviously" be found in NSText.h, while all the other function key codes are in NSEvent.h :|


Another issue closed, thanks to Ricky Sharp.

Revised, tested code, responding to both 'return' and 'enter', is below.

- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent*)event {
NSString *s = [event charactersIgnoringModifiers] ;
unichar keyChar = 0 ;
BOOL didDo = NO ;
if ([s length] == 1) {
keyChar = [s characterAtIndex:0] ;
if ((keyChar == NSCarriageReturnCharacter) || (keyChar == NSEnterCharacter)) {
// Unless editing is already in process, which is not the
// case we're trying to handle here, an entire row will
// be selected and therefore [self selectedColumn] will
// be the "no selection" indicator, -1. So, we edit column
// 0. If the user wants a different column, they can
// easily tab to it.
[self editColumn:0
row:[self selectedRow]
withEvent:nil
select:YES] ;
didDo = YES ;
}
}


    if (!didDo) {
        [super keyDown:event] ;
    }
}
