You'll only get keydowns if 1) Your app is the active application 2) Your window is key 3) Your view is in the window's responder chain. 4) Some other view ahead of yours in the chain didn't swallow up the key event. > How do popup menus usually process keydown events? are they also "key > windows" in cocoa > terminology? Menus shortcuts are handled differently than "regular" key events. You're asking sort of basic questions. Do yourself a favor and get this book: <http://www.amazon.com/Cocoa-Programming-Mac-OS-3rd/dp/0321503619/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_2> It's really good for folks trying to get up to speed. You'll want to read up on Responder chains. _murat _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
