NSView in NSMenu -- how to make "key" for accepting keyboard commands [specifically, return]

Question

I have a text field and a button living in a view inside a menu item. The button submits the string in the text field to a function, and that works fine. However, I've also set the button's key equivalent to "return." The key command isn't being picked up, probably because the menu is not the "key" window.

I know how to make a window the key window (makeKeyAndOrderFront) -- what's the equivalent for a view living in a menu?

Looks like the best way to do this is to ignore the button and tie the NSTextField's built-in return key handling to the desired action:

Seems to work great.
