    \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.
