One way to check to see if the enter key has been pressed is to:

[theEvent keyCode] == 0x04C

where 0x04C is the keyCode corresponding to the enter key.
(Is there an Apple defined constant for this key code?)

kVK_ANSI_KeypadEnter

but it's only defined in a Carbon header (Events.h in the HIToolbox sub-framework).


Another way, found at:

http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/TrackBall/listing9.html

is to do:

NSString *characters = [theEvent characters];

switch ([characters characterAtIndex:0])
{
   case NSEnterCharacter:
   case NSNewlineCharacter:
   case NSCarriageReturnCharacter:
}



My question is which method is the preferred or recommended way to detect this key in onKeyDown?

Given that you found that in Apple-written sample code, I'd say that's what they recommend. ;)

Cheers,
Ken
