Template:Kbdchart/Documentation

Description

This is a 104-key PC keyboard command chart based on Video Game Keyboard Diagrams (LGPLv3, CC BY-SA 3.0) made by Posfan12 at Strategy Wiki. There are three sub-templates, Template:Kbdlegend, Template:Kbdchartleg and Template:Kbdchartkey, used in rendering the chart legend and individual keys.

Origin

From http://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Kbdchart

Example

You can find an usage example here.

Usage

Keys are numbered from 000 to 105, with two of the keys reserved for European keyboards. Each key has five 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 00 to 11. There are two main parameters:

• NNlgb - the background color code for the key grouping.
• NNlgt - 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/Inventory
• grn Movement/Navigation
• cyn Communication/Chat
• blu Camera/Point of view
• mag Game Interface/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.
