I was reviewing wxKeyBinder and I was not impressed about. Behind impression
of usage simplicity some complex mechanisms are hidden. This cause more
sophisticated usage to be complex to achive, and it does not solve all
problems of contemporary GUI application. But this is private opinion
created by code review of examples and reading documentation. I didn't try
to use it.

There are some more complete frameworks, but only in Python.
