I have done so. In AITAudioMenu (my subclass of NSView) I now have this method:
-(bool) acceptsFirstResponder{
return YES;
}
I assume, and the docs seem to indicate, that I never explicitly call this? It
seems like something Cocoa does on its own, really a property setter more than
anything.

I've done the latter, since the mainWindow will remain as I switch out views
and set different ones to handle the keyboard and mouse at different times.
ViewController now has a method that takes the view and window and sets the
view as the first responder.
However, I still am getting no logs of keypresses. Is it possible that my use
of mainWindow or some other variable or method name/signature is causing a
conflict?
