Description

keypress renders a keyboard key and/or hotkey combination to better communicate the subject within a sentance. While enforcing a consistent appearance.
It also looks nice.

Usage

{{keypress/core|n₁|n₂|n₃|n₄|n₅|6}}

n_1-5

are optionally the key name(s).

• this template enforces first letter capitalization and certain key names.

6

is optionally the alternative seperator string to use instead of '+'

• This was changed from space/Sp because "avoiding the removal of whitespace while using a named parameter, is not possible."
• Evidently the removal of whitespace while using an unnamed parameter is not possible.
  • use   for line breaking spaces, such as would be needed in tables, or lists.

{{keypress/core}} can be transcluded directly to use these other options:

back

is optionally the key colour

• defaut is whitesmoke. border colour not variable.

font

is optionally the CSS font-style and font-variant, in that order.

• default is small-caps. other variants include include {normal, inherit, small-caps}. inherit does not work with all browsers when specified.

Note: This has been made to use similar syntax to the wikipedia.org version, and is limited to five keys per combination.

Example

Note
This template uses {{core}} to avoid repeating code.
