I wanted to do the very same thing a while back and eventually found a
snippet of code in the OmniAppKit framework that does just that:

- (void)textDidEndEditing:(NSNotification *)notification;
{
   //This is ugly, but just about the only way to do it. NSTableView
   //is determined to select and edit something else, even the text field
   //that it just finished editing, unless we mislead it about what key
   //was pressed to end editing.
   NSMutableDictionary *newUserInfo;
   NSNotification *newNotification;

   newUserInfo = [NSMutableDictionary
dictionaryWithDictionary:[notification userInfo]];
   [newUserInfo setObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:0]
forKey:@"NSTextMovement"];
   newNotification = [NSNotification notificationWithName:[notification
name] object:[notification object] userInfo:newUserInfo];
   [super textDidEndEditing:newNotification];
   [[self window] makeFirstResponder:self];
}
