slint::language::KeyboardModifiers Struct

struct KeyboardModifiers;
C++
#include <slint.h>

The KeyboardModifiers struct provides booleans to indicate possible modifier keys on a keyboard, such as Shift, Control, etc. It is provided as part of KeyEvent’s modifiers field.

Keyboard shortcuts on Apple platforms typically use the Command key (⌘), such as Command+C for “Copy”. On other platforms the same shortcut is typically represented using Control+C. To make it easier to develop cross-platform applications, on macOS, Slint maps the Command key to the control modifier, and the Control key to the meta modifier.

On Windows, the Windows key is mapped to the meta modifier.

bool slint::language::KeyboardModifiers::alt

bool slint::language::KeyboardModifiers::control

bool slint::language::KeyboardModifiers::shift

Indicates the Shift key on a keyboard.

bool slint::language::KeyboardModifiers::meta

Indicates the Control key on macos, and the Windows key on Windows.
