GTK has traditionally supported different kinds of shortcuts:
Accelerators
: Accelerators are any other shortcuts that can be activated regardless
of where the focus is, and typically trigger global actions, such as
Ctrl-Q to quit an application.
Mnmemonics
: Mnemonics are usually triggered using Alt as a modifier for a letter.
They are used in places where a label is associated with a control,
and are indicated by underlining the letter in the label. As a special
case, inside menus (i.e. inside #GtkPopoverMenu), mnemonics can be
triggered without the modifier.
Key bindings
: Key bindings are specific to individual widgets, such as Ctrl-C or
Ctrl-V in an entry copy to or paste from the clipboard. They are only
triggered when the widget has focus.

GTK handles accelerators and mnemonics in a global scope, during the
capture phase, and key bindings locally, during the target phase.
