1. wxEuphoria: catch_keys.exw

Does the wxEuphoria demo catch_keys.exw not work on Linux?
Or is something wrong with my computer?

I press some keys and there is no response.

Make sure that you click on the window first.  It seems that keys don't
get sent properly until that happens (at least, that was my experience).

Gotta slight problem with clicking on the window: mouse is dead.
(Which is why I got interested in adding keyboard stuff to a program.)

Ah, right.  Maybe a set_focus() would do something?

That worked on the demo.

But it doesn't work on my program. I tried putting the focus on several things
(window, widgets) and the keys still don't work. But the alt keys work on the
menu bar.

(What I wanna do is either use the tab key or arrow keys to move the focus from
widget to widget, or to use a specific ctrl key to put the focus on a specific
widget (or both). Then maybe do something with the space key. Etc.)
