• Customizable styles for both light and dark mode.
• Pressed key state for interactive feedback.

Installation

To install the package, use npm:

Usage

Here is a basic example of how to use the Keycap component:

import { Keycap } from "keycap";

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Keycap activeKey="A">A</Keycap>
      <Keycap activeKey="B">B</Keycap>
      <Keycap activeKey="C">C</Keycap>
      <Keycap activeKey="Meta">⌘</Keycap>
      <Keycap activeKey="Enter">↵</Keycap>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;
