I\'ve got an NSTableView. While editing, if I hit tab it automatically jumps me to the next column. This is fantastic, but when I\'m editing the field in the last column and I h

Answer 1

You can do this without subclassing by implementing control:textView:doCommandBySelector:

-(BOOL)control:(NSControl *)control textView:(NSTextView *)textView doCommandBySelector:(SEL)commandSelector {

    if(commandSelector == @selector(insertTab:) ) {
        // Do your thing
        return YES;
    } else {
        return NO;
    }   
}

(The NSTableViewDelegate implements the NSControlTextEditingDelegate protocol, which is where this method is defined)

This method responds to the actual keypress, so you're not constrained to the textDidEndEditing method, which only works for text cells.
