detecting keyboard events in cocoa, specifically the Return/Tab keys

I'm messing around with the Cocoa text system, and right now, all I need to be able to do is detect when the user presses either the Tab or Return key.

Not sure if this makes a difference, but I built a text editor from scratch programmatically, so I only have a reference to the NSTextStorage object, as everything else has been released.

Any help would be much appreciated. And I apologize for the noobile question.

- (void)keyDown: (NSEvent *) event {

   if ([event keyCode] == 13){ //For return key

   }
   if ([event keyCode] == 9){ //For tab key

   }

}

This method is to be overridden and will be called when ever a key is pressed.
