It is my understanding that, NSTextFieldCell gets the windows field editor when the user goes to edit the cell's contents. How I understood the docs was that I need to override the cell's: setUpFieldEditorAttributes: as that is the point at which the cell is getting the windows field editor. Once I have that I can adjust it accordingly. Or I can override the NSWindows's windowWillReturnFieldEditor:toObject: to customize it there. Is there a location, in IB or otherwise that lets me configure the Field Editor outside of the above methods?
