I wasn't sure what _textField2 was supposed to refer to exactly,

Oops, copy-paste error. :)

so I tried this instead:

[[textField currentEditor] setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(0, 0)];

Bah, currentEditor is what I was trying to remember.

:-)

So, if you know of an easy way to determine the location in the string of a NSTextField where a click occurred, I am interested.

This actually turned out to be fairly easy:

NSTextView *currentEditor = (NSTextView*)[textField currentEditor];
NSPoint windowLocation = [theEvent locationInWindow];
NSPoint screenLocation = [[self window] convertBaseToScreen:windowLocation];
NSUInteger characterIndex = [currentEditor characterIndexForPoint:screenLocation];

[currentEditor setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(characterIndex + 1, 0)];


Woo Hoo
