 that a child already handled. If the child doesn't handle the event (e.g. it was for an unknown key),
 it can call `event.continuePropagation()` to allow parents to handle the event.
 
+### Shortcuts
+
+`useKeyboard` also accepts a `shortcuts` prop, which maps shortcut strings to handler functions.
+Shortcuts combine modifiers and keys with `+` (e.g. `"Mod+s"`, `"Shift+ArrowLeft"`). Modifier names
+are case-insensitive and can appear in any order. **Mod** means Command on macOS and Control on
+other platforms. (You can also use dynamic keys to create platform-specific shortcuts.
+`[key + (isMac() ? '+Alt' : '+Control')]`)
+
+When a key is pressed, the event is matched against the shortcuts map. If a handler is found, it is
+called after any `onKeyDown` handler. Handlers may return:
+
+* Nothing — the shortcut is handled. Propagation is stopped and the default action is prevented.
+* `true` or `false` — shorthand for preventing the default action (`true`) or allowing the browser
+  default and propagation to continue (`false`).
+* An object with `shouldContinuePropagation` and/or `shouldPreventDefault` for fine-grained control.
+
+If no shortcut matches, the event is propagated to parent elements.
