Menu key accelerators

[davidbritch]

.NET MAUI 8 includes keyboard accelerators for menu items. Keyboard accelerators enable you to assign keyboard shortcuts to any menu item, whether visible or not, and attach them to any UI element.

<ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
    <MenuBarItem Text="File">
        <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Preferences"
            Command="{Binding PreferencesCommand}"
        />
    </MenuBarItem>
    <MenuBarItem Text="Products">
        <MenuFlyoutItem 
            x:Name="AddProductMenu"
            Text="Add Product"
            Command="{Binding AddProductCommand}"
        />
        <MenuBarItem Text="Add Product Category"/>
    </MenuBarItem>
</ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

MenuItem.SetAccelerator(AddProductMenu, Accelerator.FromString("Ctrl+A"));
