What is a key advantage of using commands in WPF?

They are tightly coupled with events

They are difficult to enable or disable

They support input gestures like keyboard shortcuts (correct)

They make two-way communication simpler

How can you create a custom command in WPF?

By only defining the Execute method

By implementing ICommand interface with Execute, CanExecute, CanExecuteChanged methods (correct)

By defining keyboard shortcuts

By hard-coding the command logic

Why might two-way communication become cumbersome when handling controls in WPF?

Because there is no support for keyboard shortcuts

Because commands are tightly coupled with events

Because you don't want the list of controls hard-coded (correct)
