There is a way. It works great. We (and by we, I mean the
documentation) call it controlTextDidChange:.
Create a method like this:
- (void)controlTextDidChange:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
NSTextField* field = [aNotification object];
NSLog([field stringValue]);
if ([[field stringValue] caseInsensitiveCompare:@"aircraft
carrier"] == NSOrderedSame)
{
[field setStringValue:@"rowboat"];
}
}
Set the class containing this method as the delegate of the
NSTextField. Run the app and type something in the field. Notice that
each character will be logged as it is typed. Type aircraft carrier.
Notice that the field now contains rowboat.

Nice try, but that definitely doesn't affect typing. According to
the docs, it affects mouse tracking.
NSTextField: why use the rowboat you need, when you can use an
aircraft carrier instead.
Still no way to find the text editor value while it is editing, or
receive notifications as the value changes.

Any ideas on why the field editor doesn't report the value as it is
being edited?
NSTextField is a subclass of NSControl. NSControl provides the
-isContinuous / -setContinuous: methods. Try reading up on those ...
