Select next NSTextView with Tab key in Swift

Is there a way to change the responder or select another text view by pressing tab on the keyboard, in Swift?

Notes: It's for a fill in the blank type application.

My VC creates a list of Words [Word], and each of those words has its own WordView - word.wordView. The WordView is what is displayed. WordView is a child of NSTextView.

I tried to override keydown but it doesn't allow me to type anything in the text view.

You have to connect your textField nextKeyView to the next textField through the IB or programmatically:

textField1.nextKeyView = textField2

Assuming you want to go from textView1 to textView2. First set the delegate:

self.textView1.delegate = self 

Then implement the delegate method:

func textView(textView: NSTextView, doCommandBySelector commandSelector: Selector) -> Bool {     if commandSelector == "insertTab:" && textView == self.textView1 {         self.window.makeFirstResponder(self.textView2)         return true     }     return false }
