Do you mean that you want to have menu items handle control-4 for the top row, but not for the numpad? If so, the simplest approach is to override either -[NSApplication performKeyEquivalent:] or -[NSMenu performKeyEquivalent:] on the main menu. Within your override, inspect the event's virtual key code (-keyCode), and return NO for the numpad. If you mean that you want to have one menu item handle control-4 for the top row and a different menu item for the numpad, you'll have to take a more complicated route: - Set the key equivalent like you currently do - Implement the delegate method -menuHasKeyEquivalent:forEvent:target:action: - Within that method, check the virtual key code of the NSEvent (that is, the -keyCode method) That should allow you to distinguish between the two events. A secondary issue that you'll run into is that NSMenu will prevent both items from sharing what it thinks is the same key equivalent. You can work around this by giving each item the same action.
