Template:Key press/doc

Example
 * A ➜ A

As lower-case alphabetic characters a–z do not appear on most keyboards, they should not be used as parameters.

Keystroke Combinations
To illustrate keystroke combinations, just use extra parameters:
 * Alt ➜ Alt
 * Ctrl ➜ Ctrl

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 that might cause items to be too wide. Instead manually build the key combination with spaces around the "+" so it can line wrap:
 * Ctrl + Alt + Del ➜ Ctrl + Alt + Del
 * Ctrl ➜ Ctrl
 * Alt1 ➜ Alt1

Wiki Markup Characters
Some wiki markup characters, like the pipe symbol, the semicolon and the equals sign, need to be entered using the,   and   templates or as an HTML entity  ,  ,   respectively:
 * pipe ➜ pipe
 * &amp;#124; ➜ &#124;
 * &#59; ➜ ;
 * &amp;#59; ➜ &#59;
 * &#61; ➜ =
 * &amp;#61; ➜ &#61;
