The responder chain works something like this:

user event->active application->application's key window->window's first responder if accepts, otherwise next view in line gets it. Whether or not delegate messages are sent is upto one of the responders in the chain to send them.

The only sure way of intercepting messages to the textview is to make your own subclass of it and use that, overriding various methods.

Hmm, I just noticed that if I do
   [mainWindow makeFirstResponder:textView];

It never works. In other words, when the text view IS the first responder, it breaks. Otherwise, it seems to work great. I'll be honest, I don't understand the responder chain, and I'm about to read through cocoa fundamentals, but: could somebody give me a hint how to intercept/receive the message sent directly to the textview?
