added proposal to make this make sense

=== Proposal to make the CSS make sense for this=== | |||
Use only CSS '''classes''' in line with [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/298607/css-best-practice-about-id-and-class best practices], since these will be called multiple times potentially on the same page, and there is no inherent reason for them to be unique (which is what IDs are for). | |||
'''Best solution''': a single base class {{ic|keyboard-key}} for '''all''' keys, which uses padding to automatically adjust width as necessary. See English Wikipedia's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Key_press/styles.css key press CSS], used in their [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Key_press Key press template]. | |||
Compromise solution: group the classes under classes of keys based on formatting needs. | |||
* base class {{ic|keyboard-key}} for all regular-width keys, A-Z 0-9 and all punctuation, including arrow keys. Pick one unified font family, style, size, color, and key background. | |||
* {{ic|key.modifier}} Covers Shift (left and right), Control (CTRL), Alt, Command (CMD), Caps, Tab, Backspace (BKSPC) and Delete (DEL) keys. This should be slightly wider than the base class and fit 5-6 characters. | |||
* {{ic|key.function}} Covers F1-12 and ESC, as well as Insert (INS), Home, End, Page Up (PGUP) and Page Down (PGDN). Wider than {{ic|key}} but not as much as {{ic|key.modifier}}. | |||
* {{ic|key.space}} Covers the spacebar. Probably doesn't need to be a full 226px wide. | |||
