Yeah, I had one of these. Problem was, I needed two. I had the one set up using
Target/Action instead of delegate. With the two separate flavors, much
cheerier now. Thanks.

Subject: Re: Fetch value from field editor during editing?
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.
