This happens because of the way text fields work in OS X -- they don't 
send any messages until they
lose focus or the current "edit" is complete.

You can make the button trigger the message in InterfaceBuilder though. 
  In IB, command-click on your "Apply" button, and drag to the text 
field in question.  In the Target/Action area of the inspector that 
pops up, choose "Select Text".  This will cause the button to end the 
current edit and send a message to breve.
