Accelerator Keystroke Assignments
An ASCII character code or a virtual-key code can be used to define the
accelerator. An ASCII character code makes the accelerator case sensitive. The ASCII
"C" character can define the accelerator as ALT+c rather than ALT+C. Case-sensitive accelerators can, however, be confusing to use. For example,
the ALT+C accelerator will be generated if the CAPS LOCK key is down or if the SHIFT key is down, but not if both are down.
Typically, accelerators don't need to be case sensitive, so most applications
use virtual-key codes for accelerators rather than ASCII character codes.
Avoid accelerators that conflict with an application's menu mnemonics, because
the accelerator overrides the mnemonic, which can confuse the user. For more
information about menu mnemonics, see
Menus.
If an application defines an accelerator that is also defined in the system
accelerator table, the application-defined accelerator overrides the system
accelerator, but only within the context of the application. Avoid this practice,
however, because it prevents the system accelerator from performing its standard
role in the Windows user interface. The system-wide accelerators are described
in the following list:
