Re: Mac shortcut keys issue. Keys being sent to parent frame window.

No problem.  I'm not familiar with objective C at all and not even sure if 
the code below is objective C or Swift.

I'm trying to trace things. In utils.m, I found the sendEvent function. And 
in it, there is a test for NSKeyUp, and the Apple docs say that it's 
depreciated. It also says there is an AppKit bug.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nskeyup

I tried replacing NSKeyUp with NSEvent.EventType.keyUp 
<https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsevent/eventtype/keyup>, 
but it refuses to compile so I'm stuck.


/* This is needed because otherwise we don't receive any key-up events for 
command-key
 combinations (an AppKit bug, apparently) */
- (void)sendEvent:(NSEvent *)anEvent
{
    if ([anEvent type] == NSKeyUp && ([anEvent modifierFlags] & 
NSCommandKeyMask))
        [[self keyWindow] sendEvent:anEvent];
    else
        [super sendEvent:anEvent];    
}
