	This template currently handles up to 5 key name parameters; more than enough to accomodate for any possible '''combined''' key stroke. If it gets too many key name parameters it reports the page into ~~[[:~~Category:Keypress template parameter needs fixing]]. This means we can easily find those pages and fix them, or we can discover if we need to make this template take more parameters.

	When you feed several key names to this template, it adds a "+" with no spaces around. This means it won't line wrap. But when you show key combinations for instance in a table then that might cause too wide items. Then instead manually build the key combination with spaces around the "+" so it can line wrap.
