Template:Key press

Key

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

• For some captions workarounds will be required. Two of them are for example the captions | and = which would require you to insert {{!}} or {{=}} instead of | or =, since using a "|" or "=" inside a template will break it.

• If a line breaks right before the template the leftmost key border stays on that line.

To do

Add functionality template magic so that:

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

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