Installation

caveui components are copy-paste Jetpack Compose built entirely on Material 3 — there's no caveui dependency to add. Make sure Material 3 is on your classpath (it ships with the Compose BOM), then copy the Usage snippet below into your project.

kotlin

// build.gradle.kts (module)
dependencies {
    implementation(platform("androidx.compose:compose-bom:2025.06.00"))
    implementation("androidx.compose.material3:material3")
}

Usage

kotlin

@Composable
fun ShortcutHint(label: String, keys: List<String>) {
    Surface(
        color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.inverseSurface,
        contentColor = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.inverseOnSurface,
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp),
        shadowElevation = 3.dp,
    ) {
        Row(
            Modifier.padding(horizontal = 10.dp, vertical = 6.dp),
            verticalAlignment = Alignment.CenterVertically,
        ) {
            Text(label, style = MaterialTheme.typography.labelMedium)
            Spacer(Modifier.width(8.dp))
            keys.forEach { k ->
                Surface(
                    color = MaterialTheme.colorScheme.inverseOnSurface.copy(alpha = 0.15f),
                    shape = RoundedCornerShape(4.dp),
                ) {
                    Text(
                        k,
                        Modifier.padding(horizontal = 5.dp, vertical = 1.dp),
                        style = MaterialTheme.typography.labelSmall,
                    )
                }
                Spacer(Modifier.width(3.dp))
            }
        }
