Minor annoyances for keyboard user.

From

Today my mouse lost its tail, so I tried to use PGAdmin III with 
keyboard only. Here are my findings.

1. In Main Window there should be key shortcuts for most often used 
commands (those with button in toolbar). If there are, maybe there 
should be mentioned in documentation?
2. In Query Window I couldn't switch between Output Pane and Edit Pane 
with keyboard. In other query management program, F6 and Shift F6 
switches between opened panes.
3. In Main Window -> Objects Pane, context menu key (the one between 
Windows key and Ctrl) is not working.

I used:
Version 1.8.0 Beta 1 (Jul 13 2007, rev: 6423), binary build downloaded 
from pgadmin server.
This was tested on fully patched Windows Vista Business, Polish.

Can some tell me, if problem described in point 3 happens in:
- Vista only,
- wxMSW builds only,
- any build?

There are currently no shortcuts, though they are all on the menus so
can be accessed via the keyboard with a couple of presses.

Yes, this seems to be a wxWidgets problem. I've logged a bug with them:

Any build AFAIK.
