Re: setKeyEquivalent issue

Thanks for the reply. It runs through a normal sequence of events. It
calls performKeyEquivalent: in NSWindow to NSView to NSButton, which
then calls performClick in an NSButtonCell, then sendAction and so
forth. It does this if I had set the key equivalent to any character,
except the arrow keys which are the only ones it calls twice.

I have actually set this up in a little test app and get the same
problems. So no other action items are set. The problem manifests
anyway without holding down the key and it has had it's setContinuous:
set to NO, and it is also off in IB. If I set the key equivalents to
something else, the arrow keys will beep when pressed, as they should
as they don't have any key equivalents set, as any other key would.

I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions. All the best.
