I am trying to wrap my mind around something and the Apple docs are just not helping. I am not sure if I am looking in the wrong places or what, but I am just not getting it.

Binding a menu item to First Responder and setting a key equivalent for the menu item is trivial.

However, what if I want a key equivalent for a command that is not in a menu?

I am approaching this from years of Windows experience (which is probably part of the problem), so I am looking for something similar to an accelerator table. I essentially duplicated this idea by overriding performKeyEquivalent: in a view, iterating through a table looking for a key code and modifier flag match, then performing that action.

This "works", but I would have to duplicate this in every view that handles that command.

I tried creating a hidden menu with sub-menu items bound to First Responder, but this did not work.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
