Runtime Key Bindings

This example demonstrates creating and assigning keyboard shortcuts at runtime from Rust and C++ using Keys::from_parts.

Key bindings are normally defined at compile time with @keys(...) in .slint files. With Keys::from_parts, you can create them at runtime — useful for user-configurable shortcuts.

It also shows how to capture a key event and convert it into a Keys value, enabling graphical shortcut configuration.

Rust

cargo run --manifest-path rust/Cargo.toml

C++

Build from the top-level cmake build directory:

cd /path/to/slint/build && ninja runtime_key_bindings
./examples/runtime_key_bindings/cpp/runtime_key_bindings
