Prototype/Shortcut

Template:Prototype parent Definition for a shortcut button in the shortcut bar.
This is not a custom keybinding (keyboard shortcut), for that see Prototype/CustomInput.

Mandatory properties

Inherits all properties from PrototypeBase.

Template:Prototype property One of "toggle-alt-mode", "undo", "copy", "cut", "paste", "import-string", "toggle-personal-roboport", "toggle-equipment-movement-bonus", "spawn-item" and "lua".

Template:Prototype property Scales to fit a 16x16-pixel square.
Note: The scale that can be defined in the sprite may not behave as expected because the game always scales the sprite to fill the GUI slot.
