Accelerator key names
Accelerators keys are attributes defining the keyboard shortcuts for actions.
Action accelerator keys are typically associated with action default attributes. For a complete usage description, see Defining keyboard accelerators for actions.
Keyboard key names can be combined with key modifiers, to define key combinations such as [Ctrl] + [P].
