I think we should avoid relying on wx changes where possible. So I would
tend to go with (1). However, I think you should be minimally intrusive,
and make sure (for instance) that if a modal dialog is up it gets sent all
keys by your application level handler, and if a control which is (say) a
wxTextControl has focus, it gets sent all keys (at least in the first
instance) - of course it may "send them back" (i.e. do event.Skip()). Ditto
you may have to send return etc. to non-modal dialogs. Does that work?

I (deliberately) do nothing intelligent with keys in dialog manager or
any of our controls.
