Calculator.app? Otherwise, it's pretty tiresome to mouse around to
enter every number and operation.
You'd need to implement/override the keyDown: method, something like
this:
- (void) keyDown: (NSEvent*)theEvent
{
NSString *characters = [theEvent characters];
unichar character = 0;
if ([characters length] > 0)
{
character = [characters characterAtIndex: 0];
/* Figure out which character got pushed and tell that button to
performClick: ... */
}
else
[super keyDown: theEvent];
}
I'm not sure Calculator is organized correctly for that, though. You
generally want to implement the keyDown: method in a view or in the
window's delegate. But it might work OK.
