There's this HTML element meant for marking up keyboard keys named `kbd`. Obviously it can be styled with CSS so why not use it to make those elements look a bit more like hardware or the iOS and Android software keys.
|
|
|
|
The above picture might be blurry depending on the device you're using so here's a live rendered demo:
|
|
|
|
<kbd>Light</kbd> <kbd class="dark">Dark</kbd> <kbd class="ios">iOS</kbd> <kbd class="android">An</kbd> <kbd class="android dark">dro</kbd> <kbd class="android color">id</kbd>
|
|
|
|
They are completely styled with CSS3 so they're sharp on all screens no matter how high the dpi. Have a look at the [full demo](http://lab.kremalicious.com/kbdfun/) or grab the project folder with the CSS & LESS files from GitHub. The code is under the MIT license so you're free to use it in any personal or commercial project.

## Usage
|
|
|
|
### CSS
|
|
|
|
Just drop in the `kbdftw.css` in your `head`:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="kbdfun.css" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to use the Android key style, include roboto.css before:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="roboto.css" />
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="kbdfun.css" />
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You also need to add all the Roboto font files from assets/fonts to your project.
|
|
|
|
### LESS
|
|
|
|
There're some variables in the `kbdfun.less` file you can customize.
|
|
|
|
For the Android style, there's `roboto.less` as include at the end. But the font files won't load unless you uncomment the `.font-roboto` line in kbdftw.less. This is to make sure, users won't download all the font files if you don't use the Android style.
|
|
|
|
### Markup
|
|
|
|
The default styling are light keys with Lucida Grande as font:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd>Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd>Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
Add a dark class to get the dark keys:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd class="dark">Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd class="dark">Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
Adding an ios or android class gives a replica of those system keys. Android uses three different colors on the default keyboard.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd class="ios">Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd class="ios">Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd class="android">Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd class="android">Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd class="android dark">Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd class="android dark">Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<kbd class="android color">Q</kbd>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
becomes <kbd class="android color">Q</kbd>
|
|
|
|
I've let the default `display: inline` intact so all padding on the `kbd` elements won't affect the line-height of the surrounding text. This leads to problems when you want to use them over multiple lines so just make them `display: inline-block` in this scenario.

|
|
|
Pro Tip: if you want to replicate all Mac keyboards after 2003 you have to get VAG rounded for the font.
