Template:Kbdchart/Documentation

Description
This is a 104-key PC keyboard command chart based on Video Game Keyboard Charts (LGPL) which Posfan12 authored. There are two sub-templates, Template:Kbdlegend and Template:Kbdchartkey, used in rendering the chart legend and individual keys.

Usage
Keys are numbered from 000 to 105, with two of the keys reserved for European keyboards. Each key has four main parameters:


 *   - the background color code for the key.
 *   - text description of the action performed when pressing the key alone.
 *   - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the SHIFT key.
 *   - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the CTRL key.
 *   - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the ALT key.

Legal background color codes are:

Key groupings (which appear in the chart legend) are numbered from 0 to 9. There are two main parameters:


 *   - the background color code for the key grouping.
 *   - the text description of the key grouping (for instance "Combat Controls").

Here's a set of conventions with regard to group colors that works pretty well:


 * red Combat/Actions
 * yel Targeting/Unit selection
 * grn Movement/Navigation
 * cyn Communication/Chat
 * blu Camera/Point of view
 * mag Game Controls/Menus

The   parameter causes keyboard numberpad to not be displayed.

Additional notes:
 * Two keys are reserved for European keyboards which will be added later.
 * The ALTGR key on some European keyboards is not currently supported but will be added later.
 * At 96dpi a printed version of the chart should exactly overlay an actual keyboard.
 * Line breaks need to be inserted manually using the HTML  tag.
 * There are some additional parameters hidden away if you dig around a bit.
 * The order in which the keys are numbered are based on their scan codes on typical IBM-compatible keyboards.
