It took me a while to locate this, but I found in this MSDN article how to capture control key sequences in Silverlight 2. I was expecting to be able to 'and' the control key with the pressed alpha key, but that's not the way it works. I attached the following event handler to my layout root grid's KeyUp event. This performs a 'save' when pressing Ctrl+S, and 'save and close' when pressing Ctrl+Shift+S:
/// <summary>
/// Handles keyboard shortcuts.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">Event sender.</param>
/// <param name="e">Event args.</param>
private void LayoutRoot_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if ((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Control) == ModifierKeys.Control)
{
switch (e.Key)
{
case Key.S:
// Ctrl+S: save; Ctrl+Shift+S: save and close
e.Handled = true;
SaveMyItem((Keyboard.Modifiers & ModifierKeys.Shift) == ModifierKeys.Shift);
break;
}
}
}
BRILLIANT! Saved my life :)
