Hi,

Quoting bug report #101845: (so I don't have to type it out twice :)

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Currently, non-editable text views
don't accept keyboard input at all, so the app developer has to supply
code to handle it. I could change NSTextView to handle keyboard input
itself as long as it's selectable, but this would involve a bunch of
other changes to make behavior consistent. I'll bring it up in the
mailing list.

AFAICT, the only other change is to make the insertion point visible for
select-only text views so you can see what you're doing when navigation
and selecting using the keyboard. So, what should the behavior of
select-only text views be? As a reference, what did/does OPENSTEP/mosx
do?
