Keyboard keys

Wording

  • Use select instead of click when directing users to choose or select objects, commands, or options.
  • Use press only when referring to pressing keys on a keyboard.

Formatting keyboard shortcuts

When telling readers what keyboard shortcuts to use to achieve a result:

  • Place the keyboard shortcut in between backticks (monospace formatting)

  • Use uppercase letters with the abbreviated version of the key (CTRL instead of CONTROL, CMD instead of COMMANDfor example)

  • Wrap the complete keyboard shortcut in between backticks, including the plus sign:

    • Do:
    `CTRL + C`
    • Don't:
    `CTRL` + `C`

  • Do not use the old <kbd></kbd> component
