I would like to use a key other than "tab" to advance to the next
text field, so that users can use a numeric keypad to enter
something like "11-22-33" and have 11, 22 and 33 end up in
different text fields.
I'd suggest not using a different key from 'Tab', since that's very
much hardwired into every Mac user.
Alternative, why not just detect when the field has the required
number of characters and move to the next field automatically? For
numeric entry this is much more user-friendly.
For implementing such a thing, see -[NSWindow selectNextKeyView:].
Cheers,
