resolveModifier

function resolveModifier(modifier, platform?): CanonicalModifier;

Defined in: platform.ts:58

Resolves the platform-adaptive 'Mod' modifier to the appropriate canonical modifier.

The 'Mod' token represents the "primary modifier" on each platform:

• macOS: 'Meta' (Command key ⌘)
• Windows/Linux: 'Control' (Ctrl key)

This enables cross-platform hotkey definitions like 'Mod+S' that automatically map to Command+S on Mac and Ctrl+S on Windows/Linux.

Parameters

modifier

"Mod" | CanonicalModifier

The modifier to resolve. If 'Mod', resolves based on platform.

platform?

"mac" | "windows" | "linux"

The target platform. Defaults to auto-detection.

Returns

CanonicalModifier

The canonical modifier name ('Control', 'Shift', 'Alt', or 'Meta')

Example

resolveModifier('Mod', 'mac') // 'Meta'
resolveModifier('Mod', 'windows') // 'Control'
resolveModifier('Control', 'mac') // 'Control' (unchanged)
