To preselect the cell for editing, use: [NSTableView -editColumn:row:withEvent:select:]; The problem with your approach is that you are subverting the usual meanings of the keypresses. Once the cell is editing, enter and delete will operate with their usual meanings within the text. You can change this and have your users confused by the non-standard behaviour while editing, or accept it and have your users confused by the modality change between editing and adding/deleting rows. Either way, your users will be confused. A better Ui is to simply have small + and - buttons to add and remove rows, and let the keyboard work normally. This is what Apple's own apps tend to do and most people follow that. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
