EditingKeystrokeHandler (core)

@ckeditor/ckeditor5-core/src/editingkeystrokehandler

class
See source

A keystroke handler for editor editing. Its instance is available in keystrokes so plugins can register their keystrokes.

E.g. an undo plugin would do this:

editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Z', 'undo' );
editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Shift+Z', 'redo' );
editor.keystrokes.set( 'Ctrl+Y', 'redo' );
