Easier than I initially thought.
The code is done. Works for me (tm). Testing in progress.

Look'n'feel question. How should it look like?
List with three column:
- predefined names of keys on the left,
- title field in middle
- longer query input field on the right.
(Above version would be similar to MS SQL Query Analyzer).

Or maybe something more complicated?
Vertical list (key, title) on the left, with arrow button to move
position up and down. On the right two single line input fields (key,
title) and multi-line text input for query?

Any idea how to create the following functionality in wx:
- first, one presses button ("choose shortcut")
- then one inputs key combination
- after key-up, key combination description (ex. "Ctrl-F1") is written
into text field.

I've got different perspective:
different databases, different queries to achieve the same result.

So when will you branch?
