I am trying to wrap my mind around something and the Apple docs are just
not helping. I am not sure if I am looking in the wrong places or what,
but I am just not getting it.
Binding a menu item to First Responder and setting a key equivalent for
the menu item is trivial.
However, what if I want a key equivalent for a command that is not in a
menu?
I am approaching this from years of Windows experience (which is
probably part of the problem), so I am looking for something similar to
an accelerator table. I essentially duplicated this idea by overriding
performKeyEquivalent: in a view, iterating through a table looking for a
key code and modifier flag match, then performing that action.
This "works", but I would have to duplicate this in every view that
handles that command.
I tried creating a hidden menu with sub-menu items bound to First
Responder, but this did not work.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
