I had the same problem. It seems that textDidChange means changed since  
the window got focus, so if you keep focus you won't get the message  
again. Instead, I used textDidGetKeys and textWillConvert. Put them in and  
run the program in gdb, with breakpionts in the methods so you can see  
exactly why and when they get invoked (read the TeXT doc too).

Unfortunately, this doesn't get things like color changes, underline,  
setting alignment ... I subclassed the text object anyway, and overrode  
methods for things like:

- alignSelRight:sender
{
	[super alignSelRight:sender];
	[delegate textDidGetKeys:self isEmpty:([self textLength] == 0)];
	return self;
}

- underline:sender
{
	[super underline:sender];
	[delegate textDidGetKeys:self isEmpty:([self textLength] == 0)];
	return self;
}

Note these are not in the delegate but in my object subclassed from text.  
And there's more (alignSelCenter|Left, and for changing colors, and maybe  
even for fonts), but you'll surely find them.
