# firstKeyView()

Returns the first view in the keyboard loop of the view.

## Declaration

```swift
func firstKeyView() -> NSView!
```

## Discussion

Discussion The default return value of this method is nil. When the authorization plug-in calls this method, your subclass should return the first view in the keyboard loop of your custom NSView object.
