    \title Standard Accelerator Keys
    \brief Recommended accelerator keys.

    \ingroup best-practices

    Applications invariably need to define accelerator keys for actions.
    Qt fully supports accelerators, for example with \l Q3Accel::shortcutKey().

    Here are Microsoft's recommendations for accelerator keys, with
    comments about the Open Group's recommendations where they exist
    and differ. For most commands, the Open Group either has no advice or
    agrees with Microsoft.

    The emboldened letter plus Alt is Microsoft's recommended choice, and
    we recommend supporting it. For an Apply button, for example, we
    recommend QAbstractButton::setText(\link QWidget::tr() tr \endlink("&Apply"));

    If you have conflicting commands (e.g. About and Apply buttons in the
    same dialog), you must decide for yourself.

    \i \bold{\underline{W}}indow

    \endlist

    There are also a lot of other keys and actions (that use other
    modifier keys than Alt). See the Microsoft and The Open Group
    documentation for details.

    The
    \l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735605661/trolltech/t}{Microsoft book}
    has ISBN 0735605661. The corresponding Open Group
    book is very hard to find, rather expensive and we cannot recommend
    it. However, if you really want it, ogpubs@opengroup.org might be able
    to help. Ask them for ISBN 1859121047.
