Thanks for your reply Corbin!

I assume NSOutlineView is the same?

A few quickie followups, if I may:

- so will this actually work with custom keybindings?  Or is there just
no good way to support that?
- did I miss a constant for the backward delete char (an analogue to
NSDeleteCharacter)?  I'm using 0xf728, discovered via gdb. :(

Cheers,
