Keyboard Keys

Add shortcuts right in a sentence. MDU turns them into keycaps.

Write ++cmd+s++ to show ⌘Cmd+S. Wrap the whole shortcut in ++ and join keys with +.

Save with ⌘Cmd+S, undo with ⌘Cmd+Z, and redo with ⌘Cmd+⇧Shift+Z.

A few simple rules

• Type letters and numbers directly: ++ctrl+c++ → ⌃Ctrl+C.
• Key names are case-insensitive. Common modifiers include cmd / command, opt / option, ctrl / control, and shift.
• Use key names for punctuation: period for . and plus for +.
• Put a custom label in quotes: ++cmd+"Any key"++ → ⌘Cmd+Any key.

Text between ++ that is not a shortcut stays inserted and underlined, as in ++new text++.

Modifier keys show their familiar symbols: ⌘Cmd ⌥Option ⌃Ctrl ⇧Shift. Arrow keys show only their arrows. See the keyboard key reference for all supported key names and aliases.
