Do we know why it's so bad? Is it caused by compromising between
different implementations of grids on different platforms? If so,
perhaps the only answer would be a custom control (urgh).

It has been common understanding on wx-dev for quite a while that wxGrid 
should be rewritten from ground to have it implemented in a clean and 
maintainable way. The current 300k source has poor editors, bad key 
handling, ... (you add your stuff here).
If "custom control" means to write a ctlGrid ourselves, well go on....
You probably have plenty of spare time :-)

Hi, 
I've a suggest:
- is possible to make "index" default name (in the
"new index" form, after selecting the field/s )
created by pgAdmin as that postgres default use?
(tablename_fieldname_index)

Thank you

Great work, I'm waiting next release!
