Jens –
I've been wanting to do similar key handling in my controller class
(rather than view classes), so I'm glad I'm not the only one not fully
grokking the responder chain. I got some helpful responses to my more
specific question, but without loss of generality. Especially:

keyDown: only gets sent to the key view, whether or not it handles
that keystroke. Since the method returns void, there's no way

I had already tried implementing keyDown: in my controller object,
which is the window's delegate, to no avail. But that class is just

I've run into this problem a few times now: I have an
