As far as I know, you just put the key sequence in the string for the menu
item:

  menu.Append(ID_SAVE, "Save\tCtrl+S")

That will automatically bind Ctrl+S to the menu item.  Is there anything
you do often enough with the menus to justify an accelerator key?

Given a list of column headers, you can call phonebook.getdata
to get the relevant field.

For example:

   phonebook.getdata("Cell2", entry, "")
   phonebook.getdata("Name", entry, "")

The full list of column names is phonebook.AvailableColumns.

I would expect the exporting UI to look similar to the importing
UI.  You should be able to select one of the predefined column
types (Palm Desktop, Mozilla etc) or define your own and the
order they go in.

The columns offered should be importexport.ImportCSVDialog.possiblecolumns.
You will need a mapping table between those names and the ones used
by BitPim in the phonebook module.
