function namesPhysicalKey(hotkey): boolean;
```

Defined in: [adapter.ts:508](https://github.com/TanStack/hotkeys/blob/main/packages/hotkeys/src/adapter.ts#L508)

Whether a hotkey to display names a physical position, such as `[KeyQ]` or
`{ code: 'KeyQ' }`. Only those labels follow the keyboard layout. A label
primitive that reads the layout reactively checks this first, so a label
such as `Mod+S` doesn't render again when the layout loads.

## Parameters

### hotkey

`DisplayHotkey`

## Returns

`boolean`
