## Detailed Description

Convenient methods for access to the common accelerator keys in the key configuration.

These are the standard keybindings that should be used in all KDE applications. They will be configurable, so do not hardcode the default behavior.

If you want real configurable keybindings in your applications, please checkout the class KAccel in kaccel.h
