# keyboardShortcut

The keyboard shortcut that buttons in this environment will be triggered with.

## Declaration

```swift
var keyboardShortcut: KeyboardShortcut? { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This is particularly useful in button styles when a button’s appearance depends on the shortcut associated with it. On macOS, for example, when a button is bound to the Return key, it is typically drawn with a special emphasis. This happens automatically when using the built-in button styles, and can be implemented manually in custom styles using this environment key: private struct MyButtonStyle: ButtonStyle {     @Environment(\.keyboardShortcut)     private var shortcut: KeyboardShortcut?

func makeBody(configuration: Configuration) -> some View {         let labelFont = Font.body             .weight(shortcut == .defaultAction ? .bold : .regular)         configuration.label             .font(labelFont)     } } If no keyboard shortcut has been applied to the view or its ancestor, then the environment value will be nil.
