# allowsKeyboardShortcuts

A Boolean value that indicates whether to allow keyboard shortcuts during an assessment.

## Declaration

```swift
var allowsKeyboardShortcuts: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion Users can add Keyboard Shortcuts in the Settings app (General > Keyboard > Text Replacement). An assessment session disables the use of keyboard shortcuts by default, but you can allow them by setting allowsKeyboardShortcuts to true in the AEAssessmentConfiguration instance that you use to initialize a session.
