Template:Keys

This template uses Module:Keys, with data stored in Module:Keys/Symbols.
These scripts are written in Lua.

This template is designed to illustrate keys and keystrokes on a keyboard. It can be used to show single keystrokes, combination keystrokes and a keystroke sequence.

Usage

To show combination keystrokes, place pluses between each key.

{{keys|Alt+P}} produces Alt + P

{{keys|Ctrl+Alt+Del}} produces Ctrl + Alt + Del

To show a keystroke sequence, use separate parameters. This can be combined with combination keystrokes.

{{keys|A|B|C|D}} produces ABCD

{{keys|Alt+0|1|7|7}} produces Alt + 0177

{{keys|Alt+|0|1|7|7}} produces Alt + 0177

Pluses on their own will be displayed as a key.

{{keys|1|+|2}} produces 1+2

{{keys|1+|+|+2}} produces 1 + + + 2
