The SetValue() and GetValue() are to complicated, but it should work with WriteText()... although this always prints a newline if I press the space button...?

def OnKeyDown(self, event):
        insp=self.text_ctrl_1.GetInsertionPoint()
        words=self.text_ctrl_1.GetValue().split(" ") #get all the words
        hl=[["in","red"]]  #syntax list All words=in should become red
        prev="" #previous words processed
        wordcount=0
        for word in words:
            for lh in hl:
                if lh[0]==word:  #if word=="in"
                    if wordcount>0:  #if word is not first word
                        self.text_ctrl_1.BeginTextColour('red')
                        self.text_ctrl_1.WriteText(word)  #print "in" in red

                        self.text_ctrl_1.SetValue("")
