Key name reference¶

This page lists every key name that keys knows, taken from mdx_steroids/keymap_db.py ("English US keymap, revised 2019-11-18 by Adam Twardoch"). Write a name between ++ and ++, for example ++page-up++.

Key name is what you type. It also becomes the CSS class key-<name>.
Displayed text is the text inside the <kbd> element.

Names are matched in lower case, so ++Ctrl++ and ++CTRL++ work. With camel_case: true, ++PageUp++ is read as ++page-up++. Use the key_map option to add names or change the displayed text.

Note

The display texts of mac and win contain HTML (M, W). The extension writes them as text, so the page shows the tags literally, for example M in the HTML source.

Aliases (115)¶

An alias is another name for a key. The extension replaces the alias with the key name before it looks up the displayed text, so ++ctrl++ gets the class key-control.
