Disable Full Keyboard Access for App

Question

Can "Full Keyboard Access" (System Prefs -> Keyboard -> (Radio) All Controls) be controlled with some API? It causes major issues when this thing is on in my app (like buttons not working as expected etc ... it has some custom UI)

Regards, Erik

Answer 1

Override nextValidKeyView and previousValidKeyView in your custom view to return something sane, or set the view's nextKeyView and previousKeyView to specific views if detecting valid key views automatically isn't possible.

If Full Keyboard Access can't navigate your app correctly, then neither can anybody who can't use the mouse. Also, some of us really like Full Keyboard Access, and hate any app that either doesn't work properly under it or breaks it deliberately (and, from the user perspective, there is no difference).
