This is the {{key press}} 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:
Keystroke combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
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. 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:
{{key press|Ctrl}}+{{key press|Alt}}+{{key press|Del}}→- Ctrl + Alt + Del
{{key press|Ctrl|Alt|Del|chain= + }}→- Ctrl + Alt + Del
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):
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:
{{Key press|Ctrl|Alt|Shift|Win|Menu|fn|L}}→- Ctrl+Alt+⇧ Shift+⊞ Win+≣ Menu+fn+L
Wikilinks
If there is an article about the key you can wikilink the key's name like any other wiki text. Like this:
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 {{!}}, {{;}} and {{=}} templates or as an HTML entity |, ;, = respectively:
{{key press|→ |{{!}}}}{{key press||}}→ |{{key press|→ ;{{;}}}}{{key press|;}}→ ;{{key press|→ ={{=}}}}{{key press|=}}→ =
Most markup characters also have aliases:
{{key press|pipe}}→ |{{key press|semicolon}}→ ;{{key press|equals}}→ ={{key press|colon}}→ :{{key press|asterisk}}→ *{{key press|hash}}→ #
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).
{{key press|Shift}}→ ⇧ Shift{{key press|Tab}}→ Tab ↹{{key press|Enter}}→ ↵ Enter{{key press|Option}}→ ⌥ Option{{key press|Opt}}→ ⌥ Opt{{key press|Command}}→ ⌘ Command{{key press|Cmd}}→ ⌘ Cmd{{key press|Caps Lock}}→ ⇪ Caps Lock{{key press|Scroll Lock}}→ Scroll Lock{{key press|Up}}→ ↑{{key press|Down}}→ ↓{{key press|Left}}→ ←{{key press|Right}}→ →
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:
