# Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts can be attached to individual windows or whole applications.
## About Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts are represented as a `String`.
You can add a single character by adding itself to the string, e.g. `"n"`.
The F keys are written as `"F1"`, `"F2"`, etc.
For character keys, write the lowercase name instead of the symbol, such as `"minus"` instead of `"-"`.
Add modifiers to the shortcut using the following string modifiers:
- `.shift()`
- `.ctrl()`
- `.alt()`
- `.meta()`
- `.super()`
- `.hyper()`
As an example, the following syntax represents the `Ctrl + N` shortcut: `"n".ctrl()`.
## Add Shortcuts to a Window
Add a keyboard shortcut to an invividual window. It is only available in that window.
```swift
import Adwaita
@main
struct HelloWorld: App {
let id = "io.github.david-swift.HelloWorld"
var app: GTUIApp!
var scene: Scene {
Window(id: "content") { _ in
HeaderBar.empty()
Text("Hello, world!")
.padding()
}
// Add the shortcut "Ctrl + W" for closing the window
.keyboardShortcut("w".ctrl()) { window in
window.close()
}
}
}
```
## Add Shortcuts to an App
Add a keyboard to an app so that the shortcut is available in every top-level window.
```swift
import Adwaita
@main
struct HelloWorld: App {
let id = "io.github.david-swift.HelloWorld"
var app: GTUIApp!
var scene: Scene {
Window(id: "content") { _ in
HeaderBar.empty()
Text("Hello, world!")
.padding()
}
// Add the shortcut "Ctrl + Q" for terminating the app
.appKeyboardShortcut("q".ctrl()) { app in
app.quit()
}
}
}
```
## Create Shortcuts from a Button
It's possible to easily create a keyboard shortcut from a button.
Use `appKeyboardShortcut` instead of `keyboardShortcut` for shortcuts on an application level.
Note that the shortcut gets activated after presenting the view for the first time.
```swift
struct HelloView: View {
var window: GTUIWindow
var view: Body {
Button("New Item") {
print("New Item")
}
// Add a keyboard shortcut to the window "window".
.keyboardShortcut("n".ctrl().shift(), window: window)
}
}
```
