(1) can be done by installing wxAcceleratorTable for the affected 
dialogs that will map F1 to wxID_HELP and then have wxID_HELP handler 
that will display relevant page of the manual (for example, it could 
be done in MvcController and derive help page's name from dialog's 
name (==XRCID)). The code would then be the same as for Help button, 
only the button would be missing from XRC resources.

I think the Help button is useful, though, it indicates to the user 
that extended help on this dialog is available in addition to 
per-field contextual help.
