    console.log('Electron Accelerator', a)
  } else {
    console.log("Electron doesn't support this key:", e.code)

A note for CommandOrControl

// If the second parameter is not passed
convert('MetaLeft') === 'Meta'
convert('ControlLeft') === 'Control'

const macOS = navigator.userAgent.includes('Mac')

// If you press these two keys in macOS
macOS === true
convert('MetaLeft', macOS) === 'CommandOrControl'
convert('ControlLeft', macOS) === 'Control'

// If you press these two keys in Windows or Linux
macOS === false
convert('MetaLeft', macOS) === 'Meta'
convert('ControlLeft', macOS) === 'CommandOrControl'
