That doesn't do anything.  -acceptsFirstResponder is a view method and is only
called on views, not controllers.

I don't know if SCNView accepts first responder by default.  You may need to
use a subclass that overrides -acceptsFirstResponder.

A slider would only accept first responder if System Preferences > Keyboard >

Correct.  That's not an appropriate case for targeting the action at the first
responder.  You would either target the views directly or implement the action
methods in a superview or its controller and have that dispatch things from
there.  You could implement some general scheme that searches the descendant
views for one which responds and send it there.  Or perhaps have the descendant
views register their interest in a specific action method with the controller.
