It's my first attempt to assign a popup menu to a view, so perhaps my question is stupid, but I can't find an explanation in the Apple's docs... The "Key Equiv." field is grayed, and don't see any obvious solution to activate it. I've created a menu, associated it with a view, associated a menu item with action, but this field is still gray.

Where is the problem?


Contextual (Pop-Up) Menus usually can't have keyboard equivalents unless they are merely duplicating main menu functionality. Even if you managed to assign a key equivalent, it isn't automatically handled - you'd have to write code to support it and it's really complicated, because the point of contextual menus is that they have a context (the click location) which activating them from the keyboard doesn't provide.

Give up - you basically can't do it.
