{{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|×}}and results in ×. - To display a pressed key, add
insetborder 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 =.
