This is the {{key press}} template.
It can be used to illustrate keystrokes.
Example:
{{key press|A}}
produces A
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
{{key press|[[Alt key|Alt]]}}
produces Alt
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names:
{{key press|Shift}}
produces ⇧ Shift{{key press|Enter}}
produces ↵ Enter{{key press|Cmd}}
produces ⌘ Cmd{{key press|Opt}}
produces ⌥ Opt{{key press|Tab}}
produces Tab ⇆{{key press|Backspace}}
produces ← Backspace{{key press|Eject}}
produces Eject
{{key press|Up}}
produces ↑{{key press|Down}}
produces ↓{{key press|Left}}
produces ←{{key press|Right}}
produces →
We have no characters for the Windows key and menu key. And we perhaps can't add the "real" icons for them for copyright reasons. So we usually show them the following way:
{{key press|Win}}
or{{key press|Win key}}
produces ⊞ Win or Win key{{key press|Menu}}
produces ≣ Menu
Technical details
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. Like this:
{{key press|Ctrl}} + {{key press|Alt}} + {{key press|Del}}
produces Ctrl + Alt + Del
This template currently handles up to 5 key name parameters. If it gets too many key name parameters it reports the page into Category:Wikipedia key press 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.
This template calls {{key press/core}}, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in {{key press}}, thus simplifying the code.
