/**
 * Wrapper around a wxMenuBar object that prevents the accelerator table from being used.
 *
 * It appears that on MSW the accelerator table of a wxMenuBar will be searched before key events
 * are passed to other items. This means key events matching hotkey combinations are converted to
 * menu events and never get passed to text controls. To work around this, simply don't let the
 * menubar have an accelerator table.
 * See https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1941
 *
 * Note that on OSX, menus also steal the key events from text controls, but that is done by OSX
 * itself, so other workarounds are included inside ACTION_MENU::OnMenuEvent() and
 * TOOL_DISPATCHER::DispatchWxEvent() to redirect key presses to text-based controls when they
 * have focus.
