- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)event
{
   unichar        u = [[event charactersIgnoringModifiers]
characterAtIndex: 0];

   if (u == NSDeleteCharacter ||    // backwardDelete
       u == NSDeleteFunctionKey)    // forwardDelete
   {
       [self interpretKeyEvents:[NSArray arrayWithObject:event]];
   }
   else
   {
       [super keyDown:event];        // all other keys
   }
}

Simply adding this override will result in NSTableView calling the
deleteBackward: and deleteForward: action methods, which already exist, so
you don't need to do anything else besides adding the keyDown override
shown above.
