It occurs to me you'd probably need to connect the button to the 
NSObjectController too (i.e. set its target/action through bindings), 
if you haven't tried that already.

Clicking a button is not in general going to automatically end editing 
in a text field, because you need to be able to have buttons like 
"Bold" or "Clear" that affect the text field's contents during editing.
