The StandardKeyBinding plist binds named action methods to numerous key combinations. Many of those action methods are declared in NSResponder.h. Many others are not found in AppKit. For example, moveToEndOfDocument: (command-down) is an NSResponder method, but moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection: (shift-command-down) is not declared in any public header that I have found.

That means it’s easy to do this:
- (void) moveToEndOfDocument:(id)sender {
        // do some necessary things
        [super moveToEndOfDocument:sender];
        // do other necessary things
}

But what is the prudent way to do the equivalent for moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection: ?

I am mighty tempted to use performSelector:@selector(moveToEndOfDocumentAndModifySelection:); after all, the action method is right there in StandardKeyBinding.plist for all the world to see. On the other hand, it is not in a public header and when the roll is called up yonder I don’t want to confess that I have used private methods. I suppose it will be no use arguing that it wasn’t fair for OS X to publicize those methods, bind keystrokes to them, and then implement them in a private API.

Thanks,
