We already have File -> Exit, which uses Ctrl+W. On the Mac, that
currently gets mapped to pgAdmin3 -> Quit pgAdmin3, which is Cmd+Q.

That could certainly be cleaned up on frmQuery, but should also be
done on other forms at the same time.

No, I don't believe you can, because wxWidgets menus try to interpret
the string after \t in the text to auto-create the accelerator keys.
