NSTableView support

[jnorth]

SRRecorderControls in view-based NSTableViews do not seem to work. The control doesn't receive a -mouseUp: message.

Subclassing NSTableView and over-riding the -mouseDown: method to do nothing allows the recorder to function. Perhaps there is a better solution?

I don't think so, because table view is first responder for mouse events and doesn't forward them by default.

If you don't need to represent a dynamic list of shortcuts, I recommend you to just as many recorder controls as you need. They are very tiny from performance and memory usage perspective.

Thanks for your confirmation. It's definitely an edge-case.

I'm using an NSTableView because my app has a lot of shortcuts--too many to fit on a screen--not for performance reasons. See the Key Bindings preferences in Xcode for something similar.

Thank you for your work.

Want this too, any way work around?

@Deger Subclass NSTableView.

@Kentzo How? I have tried NSTableView and NSCollectionView, not work. Can you paste some code here?

@Kentzo I am running into the exact same issue @Deger ran into, and I subclassed NSTableView and overrode the method like so:

-(BOOL)validateProposedFirstResponder:(NSResponder *)responder forEvent:(NSEvent *)event {
return YES;
}

However, this still did not fix the issue. Suggestions?

@Frostbitee08 If you upload the demo project that demonstrates the issue I'll take a look.

@Kentzo Seems to be working as far as I can see. Thanks!

Thanks @Kentzo, looks good for me as well.
