Hi,

See my answers below.

You're welcome. And, congratulations for your work.

I am not a WxPerl expert, but I use to specify the labels and the hotkeys for 
menus, using something like:

"LabelName\tCtrl+L"

In your form of defining the menus maybe you should put this where you have ''.

I can see the hotkeys on some menus, but a stranger hotkey, like Ctr+letter or 
something like that, not as Ctrl+letter as I think it should.
(But I can't test right now, because the app is installed at home.)

Maybe. I don't know because I can't use very well a Linux GUI so I can't 
compare.
But I think that it wouldn't be something wrong if 2 different hotkeys would be 
used for the same action.

I don't know if there is a "standard" for doing that.
I've seen other editors that don't have that hotkey defined, so I can't use 
them.
I prefer using TextPad, which creates a new common document window for 
displaying the results (STDOUT and STDERR), and that document window is as 
accessible as any other document window.
And it gets the focus automaticly after running the current program if it 
outputs a result on STDOUT or STDERR.
