[vtkusers] VTK tutorial, step 5 (Cone5), OSX-Cocoa: fails to capture keyboard events

[Darren Weber]

What about lines 501-503 in vtkCocoaRenderWindow.mm, ie:

    [theWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
    [theWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];

What happens if they are changed to:

    [theWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:YES];
    [theWindow setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents:YES];

Does that break anything?

Best, Darren
