Custom Behavior On Return For A UITextView
The default behavior for a UITextField on pressing the return key is to execute the textFieldShouldReturn: method of the UITextFieldDelegate.
What if we wanted to create similar behavior with a a UITextView which does not have an equivalent method and by default just creates a new line?
Nick Dalton has come up with a snippet of code that uses the:
textView:shouldChangeTextInRange:replacementText:
method of the UITextViewDelegate to do just that.

It’s a very handy bit of code to have as there are many situations where you may want to implement custom behavior when the return key is pressed in a UITextView.
Thanks Nick.
