Guidance

Scannable data display

Present data for rapid scanning.

Use when

Use to summarize, sequence, or present data so users can scan it quickly. Do not add display-only ornament when the user needs actionable structure or exact comparison instead.

Avoid when

Avoid using kbd as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.

Task length: short
Interaction cost: low
Interruptiveness: none
Input precision: none
Mobile / touch risk: low
Accessibility risk: medium
Needs background context: No
Comparison needed: Yes

Preferred alternatives

Table for exact comparison
Plain text for a single value

Anti-patterns

Adding display ornament without informational value

API

manifest knowledge + registry-derived coverage

Props

No documented props. Pass normal Blade attributes through the component root.

Slots

default — Primary Blade slot rendered by the component.
x-ui.kbd.group — Installed subcomponent from the registry item.

Data slots

kbd kbd-group

Capabilities

wcag-2.2-aa-target responsive rtl darkMode localized

Behavior

Uses server-rendered Blade and semantic HTML.
Declares registry capability flags: a11y, responsive, rtl, darkMode, localized.

Usage

previews.components.kbd.default.blade.php Blade

<p class="text-sm text-muted-foreground">
    {{ __('Press') }}
    <x-ui.kbd.group>
        <x-ui.kbd>⌘</x-ui.kbd>
        <x-ui.kbd>K</x-ui.kbd>
    </x-ui.kbd.group>
    {{ __('to open the command menu.') }}
</p>

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels

Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
