Andrea, i would like help you,

I'm looking flatnotebook.py and, in the following code (line 3474):

def OnNavigationKey(self, event):
     ...
     ...
     else:
         # pass to the parent
         if self.GetParent():
             event.SetCurrentFocus(self)
             self.GetParent().ProcessEvent(event)

if change to:

     else:
         # pass to the parent
         event.Skip()
	
The navigation with keyboard works, except the first press that the focus dissapear (i suposse that 
the focus is in the tab label)

I don't know if the change may affect to other things.
