Examples

Caps

Boxed caps for a shortcut on its own; plain for a hint inside something else. Multi-character keys widen with padding.

Legend

The keys a surface listens to, as one quiet footer line: caps, then a verb. Pickers, palettes and popovers all teach keys with KeyLegend, so a key reads the same everywhere.

Parsing

One parser feeds key caps, tooltips and aria-keyshortcuts: the spec, its display keys and its ARIA value.
