Hallo, I have a serious problem with using Apple's default shortcuts, that are assigned in IB - standard and individual menuItems. None of the standard items is called, if I don't integrate them in my performKeyEquivalent method and tell what has to be done with them. The app crashes because the FirstResponder stopps the responder chain with a call performKeyEquivalent with the MenuItemDelegate, then finally __forwarding__ and then __forwarding_0__ is shown, that's it. The app crashes with that. I am using a subclassed NSTableView, which is firstResponder of the window and returns NO for the standard ( Command q, c, x, etc. ) and undesired shortcuts. The next Responder is another NSTableView which sets the first tableView the nextResponder if itself is firstResponder and does not want to handle the pressed shortcut or key. I have subclassed, because I want to use some special shortcuts/keys, when working with the tableView, added to the standard keys ( arrow keys, tab) of the tableView.
Using keyboard: The individual items don't call their assigned action-methods. My desired shortcuts are integrated in performKeyEquivalent and handed if neccessary to the keyDown: method of one of two NSTableViews. Everything works fine for this, but I have to the same for the Apple-Standard shortcuts: e. g. cannot terminate the app with Command q, if have not integrated a method for that command. The terminate: -method in the AppController is not called, so for now I am sending an individual notification from keyDown: and that works. The menus are stored in MainMenu in MainMenu.xib. The MainMenu is "standalone", the menuItems are connected to FirstResponder or the desired classes. When using the mouse, everything works the desired way. I have studied all my Cocoa-books, browsed the Apple help, where I found, that my apps' responder key chain behaves correct. Maybe I am confused with the bindings of the menuItems. I have read, that I have to add the desired action to the FirstResponder, but it appears there before adding them, so I haven't added it, and bound it to the shown actions. Any suggestions are welcome, because I have no idea, what I could do more.
