Keyboard Shortcut
A compact keyboard shortcut reference with grouped keycaps for command search, documents, saving and preferences.
use blinc_cn as cn;
use blinc_layout::prelude::*;
pub fn kbd_demo() -> Div {
let mut shortcuts = div().class("demo-shortcuts");
for (action, key) in [
("Search commands", "K"),
("New document", "N"),
("Save changes", "S"),
("Preferences", ","),
] {
shortcuts = shortcuts.child(
div().class("demo-shortcut-row").child(text(action)).child(
div()
.class("demo-shortcut-keys")
.child(cn::kbd("⌘"))
.child(cn::kbd(key)),
),
);
}
shortcuts.child(text("Use Ctrl on Windows and Linux").class("demo-caption"))
}
@layer components {
.cn-kbd {
font-family: var(--font-mono);
}
.cn-kbd {
background: var(--cn-kbd-bg, var(--surface));
border: 1px solid var(--cn-kbd-border, var(--border));
border-bottom-width: 3px;
border-radius: var(--radius-sm);
box-shadow: var(--shadow-sm);
color: var(--text-secondary);
}
}
Usage and properties
Show the keys behind an application shortcut. Apply CSS after the component layer to restyle the documented parts.
Use the installation guide to add blinc_cn and its component stylesheet. Create the fixture bindings once, and return the demo from your UI builder. Values marked Bound accept Signal/Computed sources where the API supports them; structural options configure the component at construction.

Keyboard and interaction
Informational content; no activation or Tab stop is required.
Customizing it
Add application CSS after the default component layer. These selectors are the restyling surface for this component:
.cn-kbd.demo-shortcut-row
Theme and component variables: --primary, --text-primary, --text-secondary, --surface, --border, --radius-default, --duration-fast, --ease-state.
Built-in themes
The Live theme control installs Blinc's own theme bundles, including their colours, focus rings, corner shapes and motion tokens.
pub fn theme_bundle_for(name: &str) -> blinc_theme::ThemeBundle {
match name {
"restrained" => blinc_theme::RestrainedTheme::bundle(),
"expressive" => blinc_theme::ExpressiveTheme::bundle(),
_ => blinc_theme::HybridTheme::bundle(),
}
.with_css(blinc_cn::cn_styles::CN_STYLES)
}Download the default widget and component stylesheets. Sample assets and licenses are available in the asset guide.
Documentation
From the canonical component guide.
Keyboard shortcuts can combine several keycaps:
div().flex_row().items_center().gap(2.0)
.child(text("Search"))
.child(div().flex_row().gap(0.5)
.child(kbd("⌘"))
.child(kbd("K")))
The fill, border, radius, shadow and text colour come from .cn-kbd.
--cn-kbd-bg and --cn-kbd-border recolour it.
Platforms and version
The component API is available in Blinc 0.6.0. The Live example runs in a dedicated worker and requires a compatible GPU surface. Preview and Code remain available when Live cannot start. The canvas has a descriptive label; a full screen-reader DOM mirror is not provided. The gallery integration is based on revision e2e55c24e078.
Recordings and live demos use the default Hybrid theme with bundled Noto Sans. The recording uses a 560 × 320 logical viewport at twice that resolution. Live follows its container and actual display density. Source base revision · Exact build source · Artifact versions and checksums · Font license.
