Define a Keyboard Shortcut

The optional child attribute <accelerator> of a menu item lets you specify a keyboard shortcut that completes a menu action. It consists of the following items:

• The modifiers attribute is an integer that indicates the key or keys to use with a text character:

  1 = Shift

  2 = Ctrl

  3 = Ctrl+Shift

  8 = Alt

  9 = Alt+Shift

  10 = Ctrl+Alt

• The code VK_X where VK_ is fixed code and X is the capital letter of the text character.

Example: Define a Keyboard Shortcut

This example specifies that the menu action is performed by pressing Ctrl+L.

<accelerator modifiers="2">VK_L</accelerator>
