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
