==== History ====


The <code>accelKey</code> and <code>accelModifiers</code> are used verbatim for a [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/key XUL key] element.
This method existed in a similar but different form before Greasemonkey 4.0.
The <code>accelKey</code> is used as the <code>key</code> (when a string) or <code>keycode</code> (when a number) attribute.
The <code>accelModifiers</code> is used as the <code>modifiers</code> attribute.
The behavior is as described in [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/key#Details_on_key.2c_keycode.2c_and_modifiers_attributes Mozilla's documentation for these attributes].
