I have implemented -keyDown as such

if([theEvent type] == NSKeyDown) {
   if([theEvent keyCode] == 51) {
       //process 'delete' press
   }
}

to catch the pressing of delete on the NSTableView. This works, but
reminds me of BASIC...Is there a better way to do this, to make sure I'm
getting the delete key, say even on international keyboards?
