Hi
I want to create shortcuts for menus in WPF with two keys like that of Visual Studio
e.g.Ctrl+W,T

However I am able to create shortcuts using one key using below line of code,

this.InputBindings.Add(new KeyBinding(KeyBoardCommands.Open, new KeyGesture(Key.M, ModifierKeys.Control, "Ctrl+M")));

where KeyBoardCommands is the class in which I have defined the routed event Open.
this works fine for me. But I want to add support two keys with one modifier.
Please help me if anyone has any idea about it.

Thanks.

I don't think this is something that can be done using only inputbindings.
What comes to mind is something like this: if user presses Ctrl+M, save the state and if the user presses again an M, then execute the appropiate command.

InputGestureText property is used to add keyboard shortcut to the menu item. The following code adds CTRL+S to a menu item.

example:

<MenuItem IsCheckable="true" Header="Save" InputGestureText="Ctrl+S">
