macOS Refuse first responder and nextKeyView conflict

[programmerzach]

I'm a beginner programmer and to practice programming I'm working on a program that performs sequence formulas.

When I run the program, the first text field is already selected and you can't see the placeholder. I selected Refuse first responder for all the text fields but then Tab doesn't go to the next field. Is there a better way to not have any text fields selected at the start of the program?

Thanks

Zach

You're struggling with this because you're abusing placeholder text. Just use labels instead.

You are using placeholders in places they shouldn't be. Place a label next to the textfields.
