Hot key detection only uses up and down events because by definition 
hotkeys are always a single keypress. But getting character data must be 
done via wxEVT_CHAR so that we get unicode data through whatever input 
method the user is using.

Controls (text edit controls in particular) must get wxEVT_CHARs and so 
must the Text tool (via the view or application keypress handler).
