Examples

This example demonstrates how to create a scoped accelerator. The Ctrl+Menu+S accelerator is invoked only if the focus is on a child of MainGrid.

<Grid x:Name="MainGrid">
    …
    <Button Content="Save" Click="OnSave">
        <Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
            <KeyboardAccelerator 
                Key="S"
                Modifiers="Control, Menu"
                ScopeOwner="{x:Bind MainGrid}" />
        </Button.KeyboardAccelerators>
    </Button>
    …
</Grid>
<Grid x:Name="SecondaryGrid">
    …
    <Button Content="Edit" Click="OnEdit" />
    …
</Grid>

Remarks

By default, an accelerator has global scope. However, you can constrain scope using ScopeOwner or disable an accelerator completely using IsEnabled.
