No Edit menu? That explains why you get the beep, nothing processed
the key equivalent. Add a select all menu in your menu bar somewhere
and assign it's action to First Responder's selectAll: method.
Ideally, do this in an Edit menu because that's where people expect to
find it. (You don't have to have the other normal edit menu items if
they do not apply.)

Ahhh. Certainly I was suspecting that the some other class wanted to
deal
with the key equivelant.
That's because Cmd-A is a key equivalent. The "Select All" Edit
menu item gets
triggered for you. I don't understand what you mean by "uneditable"
table
view. Editable and selectable are 2 different things and editable
has no
meaning in this case. NSTableView will select everything in
response to the
edit menu provided that you tell the tableview to
allowsMultipleSelection (in
IB) and your delegate doesn't prevent the selection via
tableView:selectionIndexesForProposedSelection:.
I started down this "select all" path, cuz when I tried the Cmd-A
key-equiv
in my application, all I got was a beep. I then assumed that I
needed to
deal w/ Cmd-A myself, since I had overridden keyDown:
When I said "uneditable", I was referring to the "Table Column
attributes"
cuz I had un-checked the "Editable" box to disallow any editting. I
was
thinking that maybe that had some effect on the Cmd-A operation.
Note that I do *not* have an Edit menu at all in this application.
And the
multiple selection *is* enabled for the table view. In fact, for the
table
view "Selection" I have Multiple, Column, Empty, Type Select all
checked.
If you want the tableview to allow a select all, why would you want
to prevent
the user from independently selecting multiple items?
That was not the objective; in fact, multiple selection (via the
mouse) is
working just fine and as expected. I was simply surprised that Cmd-A
was not
working.
As you can probably tell, I am tromping in a lot of new territory...
Comments appreciated,
