Question

Is there a way to programmatically trigger the Hotkey / Keyboard Shortcuts dialog to open without pressing the '?' key?

Of course, we are wishing to keep the '?' key functionality. We would like to add a menu item to our main navigation bar's menu which informs the user of the existence of the Hotkey / Keyboard Shortcuts dialog.

Research direction
Look for the HotkeyDialog component in the Blueprint source code. Check if there is an exported function like `HotkeyDialog.show()` or similar. Alternatively, inspect the trigger event handler for the '?' key to see how the dialog is opened and replicate that call.
