NSTableView + Delete Key

Question

I'm looking for an easy solution to delete NSTableView rows by pushing the delete key.

All I have seen when searching in Google were answers like this: http://likethought.com/lockfocus/2008/04/a-slightly-improved-nstableview/

This seems to me an Engineering solution, but I would like to know if this is the best way. Does any one know a better answer?

Answer 1

There is no need to subclass and catch keyDown in NSViewController.

The Delete menu item in the menu Edit is connected to the selector delete: of First Responder. If there is no Delete menu item, create one and connect it to delete: of First Responder (red cube).

• Assign a key equivalent to the Delete menu item (⌫ or ⌘⌫)

• In the view controller implement the IBAction method

  Swift: @IBAction func delete(_ sender: AnyObject)

  Objective-C: -(IBAction)delete:(id)sender

  and put in the logic to delete the table view row(s).
