==== Accelerator Notes ====
==== History ====


The <code>accelKey</code> and <code>accelModifiers</code> are used verbatim for a [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL/key XUL key] element.
In Greasemonkey [[Version history#0.9.2|0.9.2]], this API was changed.
The <code>accelKey</code> is used as the <code>key</code> (when a string) or <code>keycode</code> (when a number) attribute.
Previously, it accepted five parameters including <code>accelKey</code> and <code>accelModifiers</code> which have been removed.
The <code>accelModifiers</code> is used as the <code>modifiers</code> attribute.
See [http://wiki.greasespot.net/index.php?title=GM_registerMenuCommand&oldid=6238 this page's history] for a description of them.
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].
If a script passes all five parameters, in the old style, then the fifth argument is used for <code>accessKey</code>.
