Actually, I see that the panel is created with:

  panel = Panel(self, style=0) # Disable TAB_TRAVERSAL

It looks like style=0 suppressed automatic tab
traversal so my code could do it, but maybe this is no
longer the way to suppress default tab traversal.
Because something other than my code is doing tab
traversal and I don't want it to. I'll look into that.
Hmm, looking at:

  https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.Panel.html#wx.Panel

It looks like style=0 should suppress tab traversal
which is the default for the style parameter.
But it isn't suppressed (on mac). :-(

But even if that were the problem, my event handler should
still be getting other keys like Ctrl-Q, Escape, Return.
So maybe it's not relevant. Very odd.

cheers,
raf
