Not trying to be pessimistic here, just honest, but it seems like this is a problem with Mozilla's (Firefox's? Thunderbird's? which app are we talking about here?) plugin-architecture system.
The shortcuts Cmd+C and Cmd+V in the Edit menu link to the First Responder, and typically any text field (NSTextField, NSSearchField, et al) which gets "focused", becomes the First Responder. Thus, it should Just Work⢠like you are expecting it to. However, if the host app controlling your plugin is not giving your plugin a chance to become first responder, it's most likely because said app is completely breaking the Responder Chain. In my experience, Firefox (and thus probably other Mozilla apps) isn't even a native Cocoa app, it just pretends to be one, so I wouldn't doubt it if it doesn't even *have* a Responder Chain. You may want to contact the developers of the host app to ask them what's going on, since they will have more intimate knowledge of their app's "uniqueness". -Steven On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 11:04 AM, Brian Postow <brian.pos...@acordex.com>wrote: > I have a Mozilla plugin which puts up a separate window for login > information. > It seems to work fine, it gets keyboard events like typing and hitting > return to hit the default button.
