function

fun gui.MenuItem.default_shortcut_prefix() :: List.of(Symbol)

The MenuItem.Shortcut annotation recognizes a menu-item shortcut key combination in one of the following forms:

  • a Char;

  • a KeyEvent.Key; or

  • a list of modifier symbols ending with a Char or KeyEvent.Key. The following modifier symbols are allowed:

    • #'alt (Windows and Unix only)

    • #'cmd (Mac OS only)

    • #'meta (Unix only, and not combined with #'alt)

    • #'ctl

    • #'shift

    • #'option (Mac OS only)

The MenuItem.default_shortcut_prefix function returns the list of modifier symbols that is added for the current platform when just a Char or KeyEvent.Key is provided for a shortcut.
