A WordPress plugin for the simple representation of keyboard shortcuts.
With this WordPress plugin you can either output individual keys or key combinations.
Ideal for anyone who writes tutorials for software and is looking for a simple solution to represent keyboard keys.
Outputs a single symbol.
[skey k="T"]To output a key combination with a shortcode, use this notation.
[skey k="Alt+Shift+T"]The individual symbols are separated from each other with a separator "+" by default.
This separator can be changed in the settings.
If you want the exact characters you specify to be output, then just add ex="on" in the shortcode and the automatic conversion will be disabled for that one shortcode output.
[skey k="Win+Shift+Tab" ex="on"]If you want to output "Alt Shift +", but your separator symbol is "+", then you can use the option s="#" to change the separator symbol to "#" or any other character for this shortcode output only .
[skey k="Alt#Shift#+" s="#"]The plugin is by default in English and completely translated in German. It works with .pot files for internationalization. To translate the plugin into a language you need a tool like Poedit.
The individual language files should have the following names such as: skey-fr_FR, skey-fr_CA, skey-nl_NL
