Accelerators

Accelerators are strings that can be used to represent keyboard shortcuts throughout your Electron. These strings can contain multiple modifiers keys and a single key code joined by the + character.

[!NOTE] Accelerators are case-insensitive.

Cross-platform modifiers

Many modifier accelerators map to different keys between operating systems.

Modifier	macOS	Windows、Linux
CommandOrControl	Command (⌘)	管理
Command	Command (⌘)	なし
管理	Control (^)	管理
Alt	Option (⌥)	Alt
Option	Option (⌥)	なし
Super (Meta)	Command (⌘)	Windows (⊞)

info

• On Linux and Windows, the Command modifier does not have any effect. In general, you should use the CommandOrControl modifier instead, which represents ⌘ Cmd on macOS and Ctrl on Linux and Windows.
• Option ではなく Alt を使用してください。 The ⌥ Opt key only exists on macOS, whereas the Alt will map to the appropriate modifier on all platforms.

サンプル

Here are some examples of cross-platform Electron accelerators for common editing operations:

• Copy: CommandOrControl+C
• Paste: CommandOrControl+V
• Undo: CommandOrControl+Z
• Redo: CommandOrControl+Shift+Z

Local shortcuts

Local keyboard shortcuts are triggered only when the application is focused. These shortcuts map to specific menu items within the app's main application menu.

To define a local keyboard shortcut, you need to configure the accelerator property when creating a MenuItem. Then, the click event associated to that menu item will trigger upon using that accelerator.

Opening a dialog via accelerator (local)

const { dialog, Menu, MenuItem } = require('electron/main')

const menu = new Menu()

// The first submenu needs to be the app menu on macOS
if (process.platform === 'darwin') {
  const appMenu = new MenuItem({ role: 'appMenu' })
  menu.append(appMenu)
}

const submenu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([{
  label: 'Open a Dialog',
  click: () => dialog.showMessageBox({ message: 'Hello World!' }),
  accelerator: 'CommandOrControl+Alt+R'
}])
menu.append(new MenuItem({ label: 'Custom Menu', submenu }))

Menu.setApplicationMenu(menu)

In the above example, a native "Hello World" dialog will open when pressing ⌘ Cmd+⌥ Opt+R on macOS or Ctrl+Alt+R on other platforms.

[!TIP] Accelerators can work even when menu items are hidden. On macOS, this feature can be disabled by setting acceleratorWorksWhenHidden: false when building a MenuItem.

[!TIP] On Windows and Linux, the registerAccelerator property of the MenuItem can be set to false so that the accelerator is visible in the system menu but not enabled.

Global shortcuts

Global keyboard shortcuts work even when your app is out of focus. To configure a global keyboard shortcut, you can use the globalShortcut.register function to specify shortcuts.

Opening a dialog via accelerator (global)

const { dialog, globalShortcut } = require('electron/main')

globalShortcut.register('CommandOrControl+Alt+R', () => {
  dialog.showMessageBox({ message: 'Hello World!' })
})

To later unregister a shortcut, you can use the globalShortcut.unregisterAccelerator function.

Opening a dialog via accelerator (global)

const { globalShortcut } = require('electron/main')

globalShortcut.unregister('CommandOrControl+Alt+R')

[!WARNING] On macOS, there's a long-standing bug with globalShortcut that prevents it from working with keyboard layouts other than QWERTY (electron/electron#19747).

Shortcuts within a window

In the renderer process

If you want to handle keyboard shortcuts within a BaseWindow, you can listen for the keyup and keydown DOM Events inside the renderer process using the addEventListener API.

main.js

// Modules to control application life and create native browser window
const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron/main')

function createWindow () {
  // Create the browser window.
  const mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600
  })

  // and load the index.html of the app.
  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
}

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.
app.whenReady().then(() => {
  createWindow()

  app.on('activate', function () {
    // On macOS it's common to re-create a window in the app when the
    // dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
    if (BrowserWindow.getAllWindows().length === 0) createWindow()
  })
})

// Quit when all windows are closed, except on macOS. There, it's common
// for applications and their menu bar to stay active until the user quits
// explicitly with Cmd + Q.
app.on('window-all-closed', function () {
  if (process.platform !== 'darwin') app.quit()
})

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="default-src 'self'; script-src 'self'">

    <h1>Hello World!</h1>

    <p>Hit any key with this window focused to see it captured here.</p>
    <div><span>Last Key Pressed: </span><span id="last-keypress"></span></div>
    <script src="./renderer.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

renderer.js

function handleKeyPress (event) {
  // You can put code here to handle the keypress.
  document.getElementById('last-keypress').innerText = event.key
  console.log(`You pressed ${event.key}`)
}

window.addEventListener('keyup', handleKeyPress, true)

[!NOTE] The third parameter true indicates that the listener will always receive key presses before other listeners so they can't have stopPropagation() called on them.

メインプロセス内でのイベントの受け取り

The before-input-event event is emitted before dispatching keydown and keyup events in the renderer process. メニューに表示されないカスタムショートカットをキャッチして処理するため使用することができます。

Intercepting the Ctrl+I event from the main process

const { app, BrowserWindow } = require('electron/main')

app.whenReady().then(() => {
  const win = new BrowserWindow()

  win.loadFile('index.html')
  win.webContents.on('before-input-event', (event, input) => {
    if (input.control && input.key.toLowerCase() === 'i') {
      console.log('Pressed Control+I')
      event.preventDefault()
    }
  })
})
