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 actual keys.

Usage

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

• NNNb - the background color code for the key.
• NNNt - text description of the action performed when pressing the key alone.
• NNNs - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the SHIFT key.
• NNNc - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the CTRL key.
• NNNa - text description of the action performed when pressing the key along with the ALT key.

Legal background color codes are:

red yel grn

cyn blu mag

wht gry blk

org olv brn

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

• Nlgb - the background color code for the key grouping.
• Nlgt - 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 numpadoff 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 <br/> 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.

Reference chart

I've also uploaded an Excel sheet here to assist you in filling in the template parameters.
