When the 'tab' or 'backTab' key is pressed, NSTextView accepts it as a character to be typewritten. But sometimes I want NSTextView to behave like an NSTextField, with 'tab' or 'backTab' selecting the next or previous key view. So, in my NSTextView subclass, I over- ride -keyDown: and re-implement the next/previous view selection.
You really don't want to do this. You've just broken any input method that uses tab or backtab. I've posted about this many times before-- take a look at the list archives.
If you want NSTextView to behave like a text field with regard to tabs and returns, call setFieldEditor:YES on it. If you need some different behavior for individual keys, use the delegate method textView:doCommandBySelector: or subclass and override doCommandBySelector:.
