So far I have tried to accomplish this without success.
1) I defined my controller class:
@interface MCController : NSResponder
2) I then defined (void)deleteBackward:(id)
3) in -awakeFromNib, I set my controller as 1st responder:
[sourceTableView setNextResponder:self]
Sadly, I do not get to the -deleteBackward: method (Xcode bkpnt).
The ui merely beeps when I hit the 'delete' (backward) key.
Currently the table column are not editable; I tried to make editable, but
that had no effect on the behavior.
I also implemented -acceptsFirstResponder (returning YES); that too did not
change the behavior.
I am obviously barking up the wrong tree. Should I subclass NSTableView, and
intercept keys (keyDown)? I am seeing some list topics where folks have done
that.
Comments welcome,
-harry
