No, I don't know either ... and I tend to agree with you. While it
obviously
provides the programmer with more control, I think actually breaking
the loop
paradigm is almost certainly bad (I haven't been able to think of a
good use
for it yet). I mentioned this in the setNextKeyView: documentation.
Basically, what I did was try to mimic the MacOS-X behavior as closely
as I could.
Ok ... I wonder if that's what we want, but since you made the effort
to
be compatible, it's nice to have it.
I've not tested it, but I assume you did. :-)
Well ... I ran the test program, and a few variations on it.
I don't think you can call that exhaustive testing, but it's a fair bit.
What I don't know is if this change breaks the behavior of any other
classes
or applications.
