Let's cut to something more basic: is your view ACTUALLY in the
responder chain?

Since you apparently are expecting it to become firstResponder, do you
actually make sure that it does (for example, by sending its window
-makeFirstResponder: or marking it as the window's initialFirstResponder)?

Remember that overriding acceptsFirstResponder does not magically put a
view in the responder chain.  (In addition to -makeFirstResponder: the
view could also of course acquire first responder status in the usual
manner, by user interaction.)
