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. |
