Shortcuts

The shortcut keys in the editor are managed uniformly by the Shortcut Key Manager. Each shortcut key needs to be bound to a message. When the shortcut key is pressed, the bound message is triggered.

Define

{
    "name": "hello-world",
    "panels": {
        "default": {
            "main": "./panel.js"
        }
    },
    "contributions": {
        "messages": {
            "undo": {
                "title": "i18n:hello.messages.undo.title",
                "methods": ["say-undo"]
            }
        },
        "shortcuts": [
            {
                "message": "undo",
                "when": "panel.hello-world",
                "win": "ctrl+z",
                "mac": "cmd+z",
            }
        ]
