Template:Documentation subpage
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.

- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

When you feed several key names to this template, it adds a "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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.

There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes.

There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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.

There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press

- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Technical details
This template calls Template:Tl, which holds the code that otherwise would be repeated several times in Template:Tl, thus simplifying the code.
TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press

TemplateData
Illustrates keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. Keys can include: Ctrl, Alt, Del, Opt, Menu, Left etc. console keys: ex, circle, triangle, square, and left right and center analog sticks: l-down, c-left, r-ne. The names are case insensitive.

Not to be confused with
- Template:Tl – Produces a similar visual effect, but without the semantic markup, e.g. Template:Button.
This is the Template:Tl template primarily designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a computer keyboard. With additional parameters, a single template can even illustrate a combination of multiple simultaneous keystrokes. A sequence of keystrokes, on the other hand, need to be demonstrated with separate templates.
Example:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
This template currently handles up to 10 key name parameters, which should be more than enough to accommodate for any possible combination of simultaneous keystrokes. 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 "+" (or whatever the contents of the optional chain parameter) 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:
- Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx + Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press + Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
On the other hand, to illustrate Windows Alt codes you might want to use separate templates with no intervening punctuation or space. In most Windows systems in North America and Western Europe, for example, the plus-minus sign (±) can be entered by holding down the Alt key while typing 0177 (with the numeric keypad):
- Template:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:TlxTemplate:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key pressTemplate loop detected: Template:Key press
An example of a use case where more than 5 might be used is explaining usage of a macro (keyboard shortcut) created by a third-party application:
- Template:Tlx →
- Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
If you are wikilinking the keys, please ensure that you are piping to the correct page (e.g. [[Control key|Ctrl]] instead of [[Ctrl]], which leads to a Disambiguation page).
Wiki markup characters
Some wiki markup character, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the Template:Tl, Template:Tl and Template:Tl templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
However, if the characters are marked as wikilinks, they can be entered as such:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Most markup characters also have aliases:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
Key symbols
Some key names have a fitting Unicode character. This template automatically adds such "icons" to the following key names among others (see also Arrows exception below).
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
There are no characters for the Windows key and Menu key. Besides, the Windows logo is trademarked. So this template shows approximate characters for them in the following way:
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
- Template:Tlx → Template loop detected: Template:Key press
