- One way I've found to do this is to open a terminal window and type:
-
- ~ % echo -n a | tr a '\033' | copy
-
- Then in IB paste into the Key: field of the attributes inspector and press
- OK. You won't be able to see the character (looks like a space) but it'll
- work. Another useful code is \177 for the Delete key.
- (Oh, and make that window a panel.)
