Since playing with the concept of <a href="https://uglyduck.ca/fake-3d-elements-with-css/">faking 3D elements</a>, I wanted to circle back around to an older CodePen I created: a mini, interactive undo keyboard.</p> -<h2 id="see-it-in-action">See it in action</h2> -<p>Below you can view a live demo of the mini keyboard itself. This demo is nothing special, but takes design inspiration from Apple’s magic keyboards (if that wasn’t already obvious).</p> -<p><img src="/public/images/undo-keyboard.png" alt="Undo keyboard with two buttons to click" /></p> -<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/PadQMP">Live CodePen Example</a></p> -<p>So now that we have seen what we plan to build, let’s break down the process of creating this stupid, fun project!</p> -<h2 id="the-html">The HTML</h2> -<p>The core skeleton of this project is very simple, since the keyboard consists of only 2 interactive buttons on top of a basic base element: </p> -<ul> -<li><p>Keyboard base</p></li> -<li><p>Command button</p></li> -<li><p>‘Z’ letter button</p></li> -</ul> -<h2 id="the-css">The CSS</h2> -<p>Here is where all the magic happens. Let’s break these elements into their own sections, starting with the <strong>base styling</strong>:</p> -<pre><code>/* Custom typeface */ -@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Muli"); - -/* Basic layout styling */ -body { -background: #d2dcff; -margin: 80px 0 40px; -} -</code></pre> -<p>We then tackle the basic <strong>keyboard base</strong> element:</p> -<pre><code>.base { -background: linear-gradient(180deg, #eee 0%, #d8d8d8 100%); -border-radius: 20px; -box-shadow: inset 0 3px 5px rgba(255,255,255,0.3), inset 0 1px 3px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), 0 10px 0 #afafaf; -display: flex; -height: 310px; -margin: 0 auto; -position: relative; -width: 620px; -} - -/* This pseudo element is used for more realistic drop-shadows */ -.base:after { -bottom: 0; -box-shadow: 0 10px 80px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); -content: ''; -height: 50px; -left: 7.5%; -position: absolute; -width: 85%; -z-index: -1; -} -</code></pre> -<p>Next, we target all shared styles between the <strong>2 keyboard buttons</strong> to avoid repeating ourselves later on:</p> -<pre><code>.command, .z { - -webkit-appearance: none; - background: linear-gradient(180deg, #fff 0%, #f2f2f2 100%); - border: 0; - border-radius: 20px; - box-shadow: inset 0 1px 3px rgba(255,255,255,0.5), 0 10px 0 #c9c9c9, 0 10px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), 0 12px 8px rgba(0,0,0,0.5); - cursor: pointer; - display: inline-block; - height: 260px; - margin: 15px 0 0 20px; - outline: 0; - position: relative; - width: 300px; - z-index: 2; -} - -.command span, .z span { - font-family: 'Muli', 'Helvetica', sans-serif; -} - -/* Styling when pressed */ -.command:active, .z:active { - box-shadow: inset 0 10px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.2), inset 0 10px 30px rgba(0,0,0,0.6), 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.6); - margin: 25px 0 0 20px; -} -</code></pre> -<p>All that remains is to add the custom styling for each independent button:</p> -<pre><code>/* Custom Command styling */ -.command svg { - height: 60px; - right: 15px; - position: absolute; - stroke: #9f9f9f; - top: 15px; - width: 60px; -} -.command span { - bottom: 15px; - color: #9f9f9f; - font-size: 58px; - left: 0; - position: absolute; - width: 100%; -} - -/* Custom "Z" Letter styling */ -.z { - width: 260px; -} -.z span { - color: #9f9f9f; - font-size: 150px; -} -</code></pre> -<h2 id="taking-it-further">Taking it further</h2> -<p>You could easily improve upon this concept by rendering an entire interactive keyboard, if you so desired. But this is maybe something I would tackle at a later date when I have a little more free time 😉 For now, a simple mini undo keyboard is fun enough to play with.</p> -<footer role="contentinfo"> - <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> - <ul id="menu"> - <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> - <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> - <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> - <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> - <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> - <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> - <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> - <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> - <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> - <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> - </ul> - <small> - Built with <a href="https://barf.btxx.org">barf</a>. <br> - Feeds: <a href="/atom.xml">Atom</a> & <a href="/rss.xml">RSS</a><br> - Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> - Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> - The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. - </small> -</footer>
