Hi folks,
Just a quick question: I have an accelerator table set for my application's main panel, and the shortcuts in it should be active pretty much everywhere in the program. But they include some keystrokes that are usually reserved for moving the cursor and selecting text inside text fields (Ctrl+Left/Right for moving by word, Shift+Left/Right for text selection).
How can I suspend processing of those accelerators while inside a TextCtrl so that they carry out their normal functions? I tried setting an accelerator table for the TextCtrl itself, and doing an event.Skip() inside the wx.EVT_MENU handler. While this does prevent the keys from triggering their panel-wide functions, they don't actually do what they're supposed to do either. E.g. Ctrl+Left doesn't move by word, it just leaves the cursor where it is.
Unsetting the accelerator table on focus seems like a bad idea, and wouldn't work very well here as there are other shortcuts registered on the table which should do something no matter the focused control type
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
