I'm still really confused as to why everyone is recommending
subclassing the first responder instead of catching the event as it
enters the window.  To accomplish your goal, you need to change the
event dispatching logic, which is not a property of the first
responder, but the mechanism that gets the event to it.

And then what happens if you get another control in the window?  Are
you going to subclass this control too?
