I think it's awesome you got this out. I was disappointed though that I couldn't find documentation or samples using some of the features, like the tab. I tried looking for it in the new resource editor. Also, is there updated documentation or example code on how to use the actionBindings and command text fields? Thanks for the great work! I've always said that of all of the windowing toolkits I've come across for Python, this one has the most promise in the best package.
