Template:Key press: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:02, 29 April 2013

{{{1}}}

The following template description is not displayed when the template is inserted in an article.

Goal

This template is used to illustrate key presses. Optionally, a combination of up to four keys can be used.

Usage

{{key press|key|key|key|key}}

For upper-case letters please use a combination of the shift key and an upper-case letter ({{key press|Shift|C}}) and for lower-case letters please use an upper-case letter ({{key press|C}}).

Examples

{{key press|G}} and {{key press|Shift|G}} will retract and extend the landing gear.

G and Shift+G will retract and extend the landing gear.

Known issues

In some cases workarounds will be required. One of them are for example the caption | which would require you to insert {{!}} instead of |, since using a "|" inside a template will break it.

This template currently wraps, so that for example Page up may end up having two half boxes with "Page" at the end of one line and "up" at the beginning of the following line.

To do

Add ~~functionality~~ template magic so that:

{{key press|Alt|0|1|7|6}}

Would render Alt+0176 (Might not be possible).
