Several MS apps support the concept of chords, like "CTRL+X,Y" which means "holding down CTRL, press X, then Y". Is this a bespoke thing they (and other companies) implement, or is it built into any APIs? It would be nice to be able to set up event handlers or accelerators based on chords rather than write code to do it. ...

(Given that the application is not installed locally.) To rephrase: What is Microsoft's intended, supported, out-of-the-box, help solution? ...

Some limit is still in place, but for instance I can set a limit of 4000, paste in 6000 chars and the control reports the length as 4010.
