I thus set the initialFirstResponder outlet to the field I’d like the edition to start in. But when the panel shows (modally), all the fields are inactive: I have to explicitly select one of them by clicking.

What does "shows (modally)" mean?
The initial first responder is the view that's *going to be* the first responder, when it's window becomes key. Panels don't become key at the same times as regular windows, so it's possible you need to call 'makeKeyAndOrderFront:' on the panel after showing it. Also, panels can be configured to become key "only when necessary", meaning you need to click on something that accepts first responder status in order to make the window key. You should check the setting of that property, too.
