For the More Curious: NSUserDefaultsController

Sometimes you will want to bind to a value from the NSUserDefaults object. An NSUserDefaultsController makes this possible. All the NIBs in your application will use a single shared instance of NSUserDefaultsController.

For example, if you wanted to use bindings to deal with SpeakLine’s text field, you would bind it to the shared NSUserDefaultsController with a Controller Key of values and a Model Key Path of activeTextKey (Figure 14.3).
