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
Investigate the Blueprint library's Hotkey component implementation, focusing on the mechanism that opens the hotkey dialog when the '?' key is pressed. Look for a way to expose a public API method or callback to programmatically trigger the dialog. The relevant source files are likely in the @blueprintjs/core package under the hotkey directory.
