Remarks

Note that the RichEditControl’s shortcuts should be assigned after the control is initialized (e.g. in Window.Loaded event handler).

The code sample below assigns the Alt+Y shortcut to the CreateFieldCommand, allowing you to insert a field:

C#
VB.NET

csharp

private void ThemedWindow_Loaded(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
{
  richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Y, Keys.Alt, RichEditCommandId.CreateField);
}

Private Sub ThemedWindow_Loaded(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
   richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Y, Keys.Alt, RichEditCommandId.CreateField)
End Sub

To remove a command shortcut, use the RichEditControl.RemoveShortcutKey method.
