<kbd>

The <kbd> element represents user input.

Point

  • Example of user input:
    • keyboard input
    • voice commands ...
  • When the kbd element is nested inside a samp element, it represents the input as it was echoed by the system.
  • When the kbd element contains a samp element, it represents input based on system output, for example invoking a menu item.
  • When the kbd element is nested inside another kbd element, it represents an actual key or other single unit of input as appropriate for the input mechanism. [Example B]
