When using NSTextFieldDelegate's – control:textView:doCommandBySelector: how do we allow/make normal performance of e.g. backspace?

In another SO thread (Execute an Action when the Enter-Key is pressed in a NSTextField?) I saw this suggested code for executing an action on pressing Enter in an NSTextField:

(void)control:(NSControl *)control textView:(NSTextView *)fieldEditor doCommandBySelector:(SEL)commandSelector
{
NSLog(@"Selector method is (%@)", NSStringFromSelector( commandSelector ) );
if (commandSelector == @selector(insertNewline:)) {
    //Do something against ENTER key

} else if (commandSelector == @selector(deleteForward:)) {
    //Do something against DELETE key

} else if (commandSelector == @selector(deleteBackward:)) {
    //Do something against BACKSPACE key

} else if (commandSelector == @selector(insertTab:)) {
    //Do something against TAB key
}
}

But when I use this, backspace and tab no longer work as normal. How to fix this?

I tried to comment on original post, but do not have sufficient reputation to post comments... TIA
