From a macOS perspective I’d really love to see this. There are many small/big usability/GUI problems that just don’t work on macOS. The ones I tried to fix always ended up being some wx problem… and I gave up hope that they will get fixed any time soon or late (I am watching/using wx master for that reason, but didn’t see any improvements).
