Force NSPopover to not become first responder with NSTokenField

Question

I\'m having a NSTokenField and I\'m providing a custom autocompletion inside the popover. Unfortunately as soon as the popover is shown it forces the NSTokenField to resign firs

Answer 1

Make a subclass of your popover content (a text view?) and implement -(void)canBecomeKeyView. Return NO there. It's called only once when the popover is shown, so you can still interact with it, but it doesn't steal the first responder status anymore.
