Summary: Defining default accelerator for common menus on wxMSW

Initial Comment:
wxMSW has currently a big shortcoming because of Windows design compared to other ports like wxGTK.
On wxMSW there aren't defined any accelerators for default menu commands like Cut (Ctrl+X), Copy (Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V). To use Ctrl+C with a wxRichEditCtrl on wxMSW I would have to write a menu with defined accelerator. Out of the box I can't copy and paste in a simple program.

A possible solution would be handling of such strings via locale/msw where a re-definition with accelerator key could be done. For example
-----
msgid "&Copy"
msgstr "&Copy\tCtrl+C"
-----

This would rise the usability of wxWidgets and ease programming.

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean here. Certainly Ctrl+C/V/X do
work in wxTextCtrl and any other control which handles them (like
wxRichTextCtrl), there is no need for a menu item for this. So what exactly
doesn't work?
