## Usage

### Value

Use the default slot to set the value of the Kbd.

::component-code

slots:
  default: K
---
::

You can achieve the same result by using the `value` prop.

::component-code
---
props:
  value: K
---
::

You can pass special keys to the `value` prop that goes through the [`useKbd`](https://github.com/nuxt/ui/blob/v3/src/runtime/composables/useKbd.ts) composable. For example, the `meta` key displays as `⌘` on macOS and `⊞` on other platforms.
