Accelerator

An accelerator is a string that represents a keyboard shortcut. It can contain multiple modifiers and key codes, combined by the + character.

Examples:

  • Command+A
  • Ctrl+Shift+Z

Platform notice

On Linux and Windows, the Command key does not have any effect so use CommandOrControl which represents Command on OS X and Control on Linux and Windows to define some accelerators.

The Super key is mapped to the Windows key on Windows and Linux and Cmd on OS X.
