[Tutor] wx accelerator table: one keystroke seems skipped

[Alex Hall]

Hello all,
First, this is about a wx accelerator table, so if it is too off-topic
for this list, let me know.

I have a table with 23 entries, all of which work. I added another
entry last night, and it does not work. The odd thing, though, is that
I do not get an error of any kind anywhere in the program, the
keystroke simply does not call the function to which it should be
bound. I even changed the function name to something that should have
thrown an exception, but nothing at all happens. The keystroke in
question is ctrl+m and is tied to ctrlM_id and the cancelMove()
function. Below I have pasted my entire setHotkeys() function. Again,
everything works except ctrl+m, but even that keystroke does not cause
problems, it is like it is not even there.

def setHotkeys():
 upArrow_id=wx.NewId()
 downArrow_id=wx.NewId()
 leftArrow_id=wx.NewId()
 rightArrow_id=wx.NewId()
 space_id=wx.NewId()
 a_id=wx.NewId()
 f_id=wx.NewId()
 m_id=wx.NewId()
 r_id=wx.NewId()
 ctrlM_id=wx.NewId()
 ctrlN_id=wx.NewId()
 one_id=wx.NewId()
 two_id=wx.NewId()
 three_id=wx.NewId()
 four_id=wx.NewId()
 five_id=wx.NewId()
 six_id=wx.NewId()
 seven_id=wx.NewId()
 f1_id=wx.NewId()
 f2_id=wx.NewId()
 f3_id=wx.NewId()
 f4_id=wx.NewId()
 hotkeyList=[
  (wx.ACCEL_NORMAL, wx.WXK_UP, upArrow_id), #up one face-up card in
the current stack
  (wx.ACCEL_NORMAL, wx.WXK_DOWN, downArrow_id), #down one face-up card
  (wx.ACCEL_NORMAL, wx.WXK_LEFT, leftArrow_id), #left a stack
