Generally, when editing text in a text field/input/area/editor, pressing ⌘A will select all of the current text in said field/input/area/editor. I've subclassed NSTextField and NSTextFieldCell, and no matter what I try, I can't seem to get basic "Select All" functionality working. I've tried implementing delegate protocols, intercepting events, manipulating commands made by selectors, and every other thing I can think of. What gives? (I can already hear the "Ever heard of Google?" refrains because of how simple this probably is, but I haven't found a single answer out there. I guess I can thank iOS for that.)
And before I forget to mention it, I also dragged a standard NSTextField into my nib to see if a non-subclassed NSTextField implements Select All behavior by default, and to my shock, it doesn't. Am I going crazy here, or am I completely overlooking something? Isn't Select All almost a requirement when implementing a text field? Apple's First Responder proxy handles everything under the sun (including two versions of selectAll (selectAll and selectAll:), but the n00b is strong with me, and I can't seem to make sense of any of this.
Any help/ideas would be immensely appreciated. Cheers!
