How to make a keyboard Shortcut <Command + S> to save from multiple windows

OK, I am having a project having many xib's and each xib contains many nswindows.

I need to use a keyboard shortcut to save for each of the window.

Do I need to create muliple mainMenu NSMenuItems for each of XIB. But another problem is there as How a single Cmd+S will know which window is in focus and how my method will get invoked.

No You need not to make multiple NSMenuItems.

The one coming with mainMenu.xib serves this purpose.

Make an IBAction of File->Save menu and use it as :

- (IBAction)saveMenu:(id)sender {
    NSWindow *currentWindow=[NSApp keyWindow];
    NSLog(@"this is key window  : %@", currentWindow.title);
}

This will give you the active window.

In each of the controllers, you need to override 

- (void)saveDocument:(id)sender;

And bind it using IB.
