Shortcuts keys for application are defined in a HOTKEYS resource of .rss file of your application.

RESOURCE HOTKEYS r_yourapplicationname_hotkeys
{
	control =	
	{
		HOTKEY
		{
			command = EEikCmdExit;
			key = "e";
		}
	};
}

The application's shortcut keys are defined in a HOTKEYS resource, identified by the symbolic ID r_yourapplicationname_hotkeys, which ties in with the symbolic ID given below in the EIK_APP_INFO resource:

RESOURCE RSS_SIGNATURE { }
 
RESOURCE TBUF { buf=""; }
 
RESOURCE EIK_APP_INFO
{
	menubar = r_yourapplicationame_menubar;
	hotkeys = r_yourapplicationame_hotkeys;
}

The RSS_SIGNATURE allows to specify version information, but its not used here. The TBUF allows to specify a friendly name for default file, it is also not used here , since this isn't a file-based application.Of more interest is the EIK_APP_INFO resource, which, in this case, identifies the symbolic resource IDs of the menu and shortcut keys.
