ContextMenuShortcutReact.ComponentProps<"span">—Accepts standard span props and renders a styled span, typically for displaying shortcut text. It does not implement a keyboard shortcut.

Accessibility

  • Use descriptive, visible text for menu items and labels; do not rely on icons alone to convey an action.
  • Use checkbox and radio items for selectable state, and provide the appropriate checked or group value through the primitive props.
  • Use the primitive's disabled props for unavailable actions rather than only changing their appearance.
  • Shortcut text is visual only; implement any corresponding keyboard behavior separately.
