==Usage==
 
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|key|border style}}</nowiki></code>
 
* <var>key</var> is the literal name of the key to be pressed. For ''F4'', for example, the syntax is <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|F4}}</nowiki></code>. This results in the following: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|F4}}
 
* HTML character entities are allowed. For example, to display the multiplication symbol, this works: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|'''<nowiki>&amp;times;</nowiki>'''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> and results in {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|&times;}}.
 
* To display a pressed key, add <code>inset</code> border style like this: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|F4|inset}}</nowiki></code> and the key will appear to be pressed: {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|F4|inset}}.
 
* The <var>key</var> and <var>border</var> parameters can be reversed, but then their names need to be specified: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|border=inset|key=F4}}</nowiki></code> will become {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|border=inset|key=F4}}
 
* Forgetting to specify a key will default to the equals sign: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> becomes {{{{BASEPAGENAME}} }}.

Template documentation
[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

A simple template that makes it easier to see that a keyboard key is involved. Use {{key combo}} if two or more keys need to be pressed at the same time instead of this template.

Usage[edit]

{{Key press|key|border style}}

  • key is the literal name of the key to be pressed. For F4, for example, the syntax is {{Key press|F4}}. This results in the following: F4
  • HTML character entities are allowed. For example, to display the multiplication symbol, this works: {{Key press|&times;}} and results in ×.
  • To display a pressed key, add inset border style like this: {{Key press|F4|inset}} and the key will appear to be pressed: F4.
  • The key and border parameters can be reversed, but then their names need to be specified: {{Key press|border=inset|key=F4}} will become F4
  • Forgetting to specify a key will default to the equals sign: {{Key press}} becomes =.

Common keys[edit]

For ease of use and consistency throughout pages, the code for some common multi-letter keys is provided here, ready to be copied and pasted into articles. Symbols rely on UTF-8 support by the browser and a font that contains the glyph, so for best compatibility, the text-only version of the code can be recommended for use in most articles. Not every key has a corresponding symbol.
