Hi All, With thanks to Léonie, who pointed me in this direction, it appears that ARIA is already using the "+" (plus) symbol in a fashion similar to what we seek to do, as seen here: aria-keyshortcuts="Alt+Control+j" According to the ARIA spec <https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#aria-keyshortcuts>, examples of valid keyboard shortcuts include: - "A" - "Shift+Space" - "Control+Alt+." - "Control+Shift+'" - "Alt+Shift+P Control+F" - "Meta+C Meta+Shift+C" At this point then, I think we have sufficient precedence at the W3C to also use the "+" (plus) character as our joiner, with no spaces (as the above examples indicate for the aria attribute). NOTE: I was never opposed to using the plus symbol in our code, but we needed to do our due diligence to ensure we weren't creating conflicts or anti-patterns (and we may want to recall this research/verification/precedence during our cross-functional reviews with TAG and/or WHAT WG going forward). Many thanks Léonie!
