I'm working on a project that accepts user input via an NSTextView

inserted when the tab key is pressed. Similar to how TextMate allows.
What is the best way to acheive this ? NSLayoutManager or key press
events ?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
One way to accomplish this would be to implement this method on your
NSTextView delegate (typed in Mail, YMMV):
- (BOOL)control:(NSControl*)control textView:(NSTextView*)textView
doCommandBySelector:(SEL)commandSelector
{
if (commandSelector == @selector(insertTab:)) {
[textView insertText:spacesForTabsString];
return YES;
}
return NO;
}
