I'm working on the Scribbles tutorial at CocoaDevCentral.com and everything is working except with the keyDown event.

When I press the keys, I get a sound from my computer like a beep sound when I press keys and I never see the keyDown get called.

mouse events are called properly and I can't seem to figure out why the keyDown is not getting called.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I working the tutorial in XCode in 10.3.1.

Thanks.

Does your view accept first responder? That is, are you returning YES from -acceptsFirstResponder?

That's most likely the problem you are experiencing.

On a side note, has anybody noticed that XCode occasionally beeps when you type into it's editor window? Then it just stops, all of a sudden. Just wondering if anybody knows what that's all about.

I actually did this as well...

So I decided to make a test project to with a simple custom view to accept first responder and it worked fine.

But with the actual project that I'm working on it didn't. I ended up cleaning my project target and building it again 3 times until for some reason it suddenly worked. I didn't change any code not a single a thing.

Still scratching my head as to why this happened....

Thanks for the reply.!
