* The preferred way to enable Application-wide or View-heirarchy-dependent keystrokes is to use the [Shortcut](~/api/Terminal.Gui.Shortcut.yml) View or the built-in View's that utilize it, such as the [Bar](~/api/Terminal.Gui.Bar.yml)-based views.
* The preferred way to handle single keystrokes is to use **Key Bindings**. Key Bindings map a key press to a [Command](~/api/Terminal.Gui.Command.yml). A view can declare which commands it supports, and provide a lambda that implements the functionality of the command, using `View.AddCommand()`. Use the [View.Keybindings](~/api/Terminal.Gui.View.Keybindings.yml) to configure the key bindings.
* For better consistency and user experience, the default key for closing an app or `Toplevel` is now `Esc` (it was previously `Ctrl+Q`).
* The `Application.RootKeyEvent` method has been replaced with `Application.KeyDown`

* It should be very uncommon for v2 code to override `OnKeyPressed` etc...
* Anywhere `Ctrl+Q` was hard-coded as the "quit key", replace with `Application.QuitKey`.
* See *Navigation* below for more information on v2's navigation keys.
* Replace `Application.RootKeyEvent` with `Application.KeyDown`. If the reason for subscribing to RootKeyEvent was to enable an application-wide action based on a key-press, consider using Application.KeyBindings instead.

## Updated Mouse API

* Views can use the [View.Highlight](~/api/Terminal.Gui.View.Highlight.yml) event to have the view be visibly highlighted on various mouse events.
* Views can set `View.WantContinousButtonPresses = true` to have their [Command.Accept](~/api/Terminal.Gui.Command.Accept.yml) command be invoked repeatedly as the user holds a mouse button down on the view.

## Button.Clicked Event Renamed
The `Button.Clicked` event has been renamed `Button.Accept`
## How to Fix
Rename all instances of `Button.Clicked` to `Button.Accept`. Note the signature change to mouse events below.
```diff
- btnLogin.Clicked
+ btnLogin.Accept
```
Alternatively, if you want to have key events as well as mouse events to fire an event, use `Button.Accept`.
## Events now use `object sender, EventArgs args` signature
Previously events in Terminal.Gui used a mixture of `Action` (no arguments), `Action<string>` (or other raw datatype) and `Action<EventArgs>`. Now all events use the `EventHandler<EventArgs>` [standard .net design pattern](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/event-pattern#event-delegate-signatures).

## `MainLoop` is no longer accessible from `Application`
In v1, you could add timeouts via `Application.MainLoop.AddTimeout` among other things. In v2, the `MainLoop` object is internal to `Application` and methods previously accessed via `MainLoop` can now be accessed directly via `Application`
### How to Fix
