At the moment our app doesn't support Services, so we don't register any types with registerServicesMenuSendTypes
and when our app receives validRequestorForSendType we return nil.
But we do have edit boxes, and they register their support for text types all on their own.
We have a shortcut Cmd-Shift-L that conflicts with Safari's "Search with Google" service.
The problem we have is that the ServicesMenu is eating the shortcut no matter what the user has selected. So if we have our
own data selected in one of our own windows, services menu still steals the Cmd-Shift-L shortcut, highlights the menu and does nothing.
In fact in the debugger it complains:
2013-03-20 14:19:41.998 MyAppnameHere[18063:303] Unable to find object to handle service <_NSServiceEntry - 0x15960e7d0:

If the user opens the services menu in this state, that causes the underlying Services Manager(?) code to update which services might be
eligible to fire and from then on our keyboard shortcut action fires. A similar thing happens if you then select some text in an edit box, the
Safari service won't start firing until you open the Services menu again and the underlying code refigures which services are eligible.
Clearly this sort of thing needs to happen whenever the "selection" changes from one type to another, and we must not be triggering it.
I thought calling [[NSApp servicesMenu] update] might help, but it doesn't
Any clues would be appreciated…
Thanks,
