### Property

# Gtk ShortcutsShortcut:accelerator

deprecated: 4.18

#### Declaration

    property accelerator: utf8 [ read, write ]

#### Description [src]

The accelerator(s) represented by this object.

This property is used if `GtkShortcutsShortcut:shortcut-type` is set to `GTK_SHORTCUT_ACCELERATOR`.

The syntax of this property is (an extension of) the syntax understood by `gtk_accelerator_parse()`. Multiple accelerators can be specified by separating them with a space, but keep in mind that the available width is limited.

It is also possible to specify ranges of shortcuts, using `...` between the keys. Sequences of keys can be specified using a `+` or `&` between the keys.

Examples:

- A single shortcut: `<ctl><alt>delete`
- Two alternative shortcuts: `<shift>a Home`
- A range of shortcuts: `<alt>1...<alt>9`
- Several keys pressed together: `Control_L&Control_R`
- A sequence of shortcuts or keys: `<ctl>c+<ctl>x`

Use “+” instead of “&” when the keys may (or have to be) pressed sequentially (e.g use “t+t” for ‘press the t key twice’).

Note that `<`, `>` and `&` need to be escaped as `&lt;`, `&gt`; and `&amp`; when used in .ui files.

Type:`gchar*`

Deprecated since: 4.18

This widget will be removed in GTK 5.
