Use of kbd
HTML <kbd>
identifies a user keyboard entry. Which is why it's extremely useful when displaying user documentation (such as which onscreen or keyboard button you should press), keystrokes, and even instructions for echoed commands (when the system repeats what was inputted). These distinctions can be achieved by nesting kbd
tag within samp or more kbd
tags:
- If you nest
kbd
element insidesamp
tag, it will act like echoed command: it will output the input command which was typed earlier (i.e.My Input). - If you nest
kbd
element, it will be seen as a keystroke representation (i.e. CTRL). - If you nest
samp
insidekbd
tag, it will display onscreen input options, such as navigational or button names (i.e.Cancel).
This tag is typically displayed in a plain, fixed-width (monospace) font.
Remember: the default kbd HTML styling is in the monospace font.
The following example styles the HTML <kbd>
with CSS:
<p>Please press <kbd>CTRL</kbd> + <kbd>ALT</kbd> to undo the last operation.</p>
It's recommended to style kbd
elements as otherwise they look identical to code
elements.
Note: there are no specific attributes for HTML kbd. However, it includes all global attributes.
