How do I add keyboard shortcuts and menus on tvOS using Swift?

In tvOS, you can enhance user experience by adding keyboard shortcuts and menus using Swift. This allows users to navigate your app more efficiently, especially when using the Siri Remote.

By leveraging the `UIKeyCommand` class, developers can define keyboard shortcuts for actions in their app. Additionally, you can create menus to provide options for users with simple navigation.

Below is an example of how to implement keyboard shortcuts and a basic menu in a tvOS application:


        import UIKit

        class MyTvOSViewController: UIViewController {
            override var keyCommands: [UIKeyCommand]? {
                return [
                    UIKeyCommand(input: "w", modifierFlags: [.command], action: #selector(incrementCounter)),
                    UIKeyCommand(input: "s", modifierFlags: [.command], action: #selector(decrementCounter))
                ]
            }

            var counter: Int = 0

            @objc func incrementCounter() {
                counter += 1
                print("Counter: \(counter)")
            }

            @objc func decrementCounter() {
                counter -= 1
                print("Counter: \(counter)")
            }

            override func viewDidLoad() {
                super.viewDidLoad()
                
                let menuItem = UIMenuItem(title: "Reset Counter", action: #selector(resetCounter))
                UIMenuController.shared.menuItems = [menuItem]
            }

            @objc func resetCounter() {
                counter = 0
                print("Counter reset")
            }
        }
