The gtk:shortcut object is the low level object used for managing keyboard shortcuts. It contains a description of how to trigger the shortcut via a gtk:shortcut-trigger object and a way to activate the shortcut on a widget via the gtk:shortcut-action object.

The actual work is usually done via the gtk:shortcut-controller object, which decides if and when to activate a shortcut. Using that controller directly however is rarely necessary as various higher level convenience APIs exist on gtk:widget objects that make it easier to use shortcuts in GTK.

The gtk:shortcut class does provide functionality to make it easy for users to work with shortcuts, either by providing informational strings for display purposes or by allowing shortcuts to be configured.
