Ok, this is a patch that is applied to the wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx.patch and 
solves the problems with trying to copy text in most windows with a 'Cancel' or 
'Close' button closing instead of copying the text.  It simply prevents the 
various button defaults that use 'C' as a hotkey from having a hotkey at all.  
OS X does not use hotkeys for buttons at all, and many system-wide 
customizations, settings, and user configurable keyboard shortcuts rely on the 
expectation that Command+<any key> will not trigger a button.  I am not sure 
why the wx developers even do this, but it has been brought up a couple of 
times on their mail list and both times it has had someone submitting a patch 
that could fix the problem, then no agreement on how it should be solved, and 
ultimately total inaction =/.  

Anyway, as Bernhard suggested, we're already patching wx heavily...so might as 
well throw this on the pile.  

For whatever its worth, I have been using a build of kicad on 10.11 built 
against wx 3.0.2 with this updated patch applied (as well as the others usually 
applied) and it has solved the closing problem and I haven't run into any 
unforeseen issues yet.  Not exactly the most thorough of testing, but it seems 
ok to me at least.
