Strong: a quick double tap: a light first tap, then a hard press that bottoms out with the strike marks flying further, and a two-beat spring back. The well never moves; the keycap stays rigid."

# Hotkey hint animated icon

The shortcut is struck. Light: the keycap is pressed down into its well with a hit, two strike marks flash out from its top corners as it bottoms out, and the key springs back past rest and settles. Strong: a quick double tap: a light first tap, then a hard press that bottoms out with the strike marks flying further, and a two-beat spring back. The well never moves; the keycap stays rigid.
