## When to use

Use this component when you need stronger document structure, annotation, or narrative pacing inside a page.

## Live Examples

Every example below renders the real component directly inside HolyDocs, followed by the exact MDX you can paste into a page.

### OS-Aware

Shows Mac or Windows shortcut based on user OS.



~~~mdx
<Shortcut mac="⌘+K" win="Ctrl+K" />
~~~

### Universal

Same shortcut on all platforms.



~~~mdx
<Shortcut keys="Ctrl+Shift+P" />
~~~

## Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `mac` | `string` | `--` | Mac shortcut (e.g. "⌘+K"). |
| `win` | `string` | `--` | Windows shortcut (e.g. "Ctrl+K"). |
| `keys` | `string` | `--` | Universal shortcut (no OS detection). |

## Usage

Start from this baseline shape and then tailor the copy, data, or nesting to the page you are writing.

~~~mdx
<Shortcut mac="⌘+K" win="Ctrl+K" />
~~~

## Tips

- Keep the surrounding copy short so the component remains the focal point instead of becoming redundant chrome.
- Prefer one clear job per component instance. If a block is trying to explain, navigate, and warn at the same time, split it up.
- Check the page in both light and dark mode when you stack multiple content components together. Dense compositions can feel heavier than expected.
