A simple template that makes it easier to see that a keyboard key is involved.

Usage

{{Key press|key|border style}}

  • key is the literal name of the key to be pressed. For F4, for example, the syntax is {{Key press|F4}}. This results in the following: F4
  • HTML character entities are allowed. For example, to display the multiplication symbol, this works: {{Key press|&times;}} and results in ×.
  • To display a pressed key, add inset border style like this: {{Key press|F4|inset}} and the key will appear to be pressed: F4.
  • The key and border parameters can be reversed, but then their names need to be specified: {{Key press|border=inset|key=F4}} will become F4
  • Forgetting to specify a key will default to the equals sign: {{Key press}} becomes =.
