Menu Accelerators in OS X

[Gerhard Mueller]

It is possible to make menu accelerators in OS X for Alt-, Cmd- and
Shift-key with "\t" in SetItemLabel().
But how to make this for the fn key?

Thanks.

Can I suggest not using the Fn key for menu accelerators as if you do it
will *only work on Mac* one of the joys of wx is that it is cross
platform and making your user interface platform specific can be a
problem if you later decide to address other targets.

But we do have already the wrapper for Mac: Ctrl key is mapped to the Cmd
key on Mac. There are several other things in wx spezified for Mac. If wx
will be platform independent it should also support different keyboards.

The big question is: what will you use on Windows and, especially, in
Linux/GTK where
you need special library to support those kind of keys.

Thank you.

Igor,
so why we have the Mac OS X port in wxWidgets when it is not complete?
