Description

For accessibility and general usability, dialog buttons should be enhanced to support keyboard shortcuts.

buttons: [ { keyshortcut: '!^S'; text: 'Save'; click: onclick } ]

... makes a Save button with an indication that ctrl+S is the hotkey. Not sure about supporting SHIFT and ALT besides CTRL.

I'm surprised to not see this as an existing enhancement. Did I miss it?
