What is the current behavior?
I observed that buttons in the WPFUI library lack access key functionality because the
ContentPresenterin their templates is missing theRecognizesAccessKeyproperty. For example, the "S" in "_Save" cannot be recognized as an access key.Upon investigation, I found that the following controls also have similar issues:
Contentproperty when specified)Issue Number: N/A
What is the new behavior?
I have added
RecognizesAccessKey="True"to theContentPresenterin these control templates. These controls can now correctly recognize access key prefixes in theirContentand set the associated characters as quick access keys. When the Alt key is pressed, the underline marking the access key becomes visible:(When Alt is pressed)

Other information
While Windows native access key functionality supports a broader range of controls (such as
ListItem), I believe the current fixes are sufficient for most use cases. If specific requirements arise in the future, further improvements can be made.Note: The
AutoSuggestBoxwithinNavigationViewcurrently treats access key prefixes as literal text when recognizing content. This PR does not include targeted improvements for this behavior.
