Hey guys,

In my NSTextView subclass, I use keyDown: to intercept the = key and do something with it.

Here is my current code for this:

Code:
- (void)keyDown:(NSEvent *)theEvent { unichar unicodeChar; NSString *characters; characters = [theEvent characters]; unicodeChar = [characters characterAtIndex:0]; if (unicodeChar == '=') { [super keyDown:theEvent]; NSRange selectedRange = [self selectedRange]; [self insertText:@"\"\""]; [self setSelectedRange:NSMakeRange(selectedRange.location + selectedRange.length + 1, 0)]; } else { [super keyDown:theEvent]; } }
This code works perfect, and does what its meant to do (insert a "" and place the cursor in between) but this isn't too good in terms of usability. What I am looking to do is only insert the "" only if it is inside a "<" and not outside the ">".

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Oliver
