Possibly related entry in Apple documentation:

setFieldEditor:

- (void)setFieldEditor:(BOOL)flag

Parameters

flag: YES to cause the text views sharing the receiver's layout manager to behave as field editors, NO otherwise.

Discussion

Field editors interpret Tab, Shift-Tab, and Return (Enter) as cues to end editing and possibly to change the first responder. Non-field editors instead accept these characters as text input. See “Text Fields, Text Views, and the Field Editor” for more information on field editors. By default, text views don’t behave as field editors.
