Implement keyDown: in the NSWindowController? I'm not seeing a reason why you need performKeyEquivalent to catch unmodified Esc and letter keys... Actually I'm fond of sticking a singleton NSResponder into the chain after the window and implementing keyDown: there. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = [EMAIL PROTECTED], <http://www.tidbits.com/matt/> A fool + a tool + an autorelease pool = cool!
