React source Astro source Core source

Kbd

Inline keyboard key caps for shortcut hints in docs, menus, and empty states.

Examples

Default

A single shortcut rendered as adjacent key caps.

Press ⌘ K
Demo.tsxtsx
import { Kbd } from '@var-ui/react';

<span>
  Press <Kbd>⌘</Kbd> <Kbd>K</Kbd>
</span>

Key combo

Compose several Kbds in sequence for multi-key shortcuts (⌘K, ⌘S).

Open the palette with ⌘K, then save with ⌘S
Demo.tsxtsx
import { Kbd } from '@var-ui/react';

<span>
  Open the palette with <Kbd>⌘</Kbd>
  <Kbd>K</Kbd>, then save with <Kbd>⌘</Kbd>
  <Kbd>S</Kbd>
</span>

Props

Accessibility

Kbd renders a semantic <kbd>. Keep surrounding copy so the shortcut is understandable without relying on the glyph alone (for example “Press ⌘ K to open”).
