I have an NSMenu in Interface Builder that is connected to an NSTableView‘s menu outlet.

I want to assign Key Equivalents to the items in this menu so the user doesn’t have to right click, but they don’t work unless the menu is visible (defeating the point).

Is there any way to allow the key equivalent to work when the menu is not visible?

    You can put the menu items in both, the application’s menubar and the context menu. The key equivalent will then work even without the context menu being visible.
