Thanks. Yes, the key down event does indeed supply the virtual key as 
expected. So, this probably means that the text tool will have to 
react to the key down events for shortcuts and to the char events for 
character input.

That makes sense - the question is why the same text tool code works 
in Xtreme? Or is the distinction between key down and char events 
specific to wxOil?
