[TxMt Plugins] sendAction Question

[Kirt Fitzpatrick]

I figured it out.  The firstResponder had what I needed after all.  I could
have sworn that I had tried this before.  Anyway, it works now.  Thanks for
your help and patience.

@implementation ViWindow

- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)theEvent
{
    if ( [theEvent type] == NSKeyDown ) {
        if ( [[theEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers] characterAtIndex: 0] ==
'h' ) {
            NSLog( @"we are trying to move left." );
            // This is the way to call the virtual methods.
            [[self firstResponder] performSelector: @selector(moveLeft:)
withObject: self];
        } else {
            [super sendEvent:theEvent];
        }
    } else {
        [super sendEvent:theEvent];
    }
}

@end
