* 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.

Previously events in Terminal.Gui used a mixture of `Action` (no arguments), `Action<string>` (or other raw datatype) and `Action<EventArgs>`.
