Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Keyboard shortcut Choose keyboard shortcut when the design problem is accelerating one known command with a key combination, not helping users discover commands. A shortcut maps to one named command, focus target, or mode and uses the same command handler as visible controls. Supports platform shortcut conventions and common text-editing shortcuts.
Redo Choose redo when the user has just undone a reversible operation and may need to reapply it. Redo is unavailable until an undo places an operation on the redo stack. Microsoft documents redo as redoing typing that was undone with undo.
