it invokes the shortcut and does not enter into the text field.
These shortcuts are set up in your main menu, right?
Unfortunately I don't think that there is a simple solution for this
problem.
A couple of suggestions for workarounds that might, or might not, work
in your case:
* Add some hacks to your menu item validation to make sure that your
non-modifier items are disabled when your non-main windows are key.
* Add a NSApplication subclass and override "-sendEvent:" to control
who sees these shortcuts first.
I hope that I'm wrong, and that someone else posts a better solution
to this problem, but if I'm not, I suggest that you file a bug
report / enhancement request with Apple:
