Re: Handling wxKeyEvent in another wxStyledTextCtrl

To answer my own question (replying in case someone else will need this...):

In the first wxSTC (where the key event is unwanted), I added this code:

        m_stc_bottom->CallAfter(&InputCtrl::SetFocus);
        m_stc_bottom ->CallAfter(&InputCtrl ::SimulateKeyEvent, event);

And in the bottom control, I added this code:

    wxUIActionSimulator sim;
    sim.KeyDown(event.GetKeyCode(), event.GetModifiers());

And this seems to be working (at least on Windows, need to test this on 
macOS / Linux...)
