Summary

  • Servo special-keys.md: Added practical keyboard shortcut workflow patterns (text editing, navigation, browser shortcuts, modifier+click), type-into pitfalls (newline/Enter gotcha in chat apps, auto-bulleted list handling), modifier combination syntax table, and space key / lowercase key name notes.
  • 26.3 KeyboardShortcuts.md activity doc: Added the full hotkey encoding format reference, Shortcuts vs ShortcutsArgument critical distinction, XAML template, and common examples — all previously only documented in the 26.2 version.

Patterns sourced from Autopilot's UiActions.ts and AppActDescription.ts.

Test plan

  • Verify special-keys.md renders correctly and examples use valid servo syntax
  • Verify KeyboardShortcuts.md hotkey encoding examples match 26.2 reference
  • Spot-check a few servo type commands from the new workflow patterns section

TODO

  • Update activities repo
  • Use 26.3.1-beta.11569242

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Enhance servo special-keys.md with practical keyboard shortcut patterns
(text editing, navigation, browser shortcuts, modifier+click), type-into
pitfalls (newline/Enter gotcha in chat apps, auto-bulleted list handling),
and space key / lowercase key name notes.

Add missing hotkey encoding format, Shortcuts vs ShortcutsArgument gotcha,
XAML template, and common examples to the 26.3 KeyboardShortcuts activity
doc (previously only in 26.2).
