How to show keys (ctrl, alt, ..., etc.) as fancy as StackOverflow?

Question

In StackOverflow, I can show keys like this: ctrl + alt.

How to do the same things in LaTeX?

I don't think this qualifies for a latex3 tag… – Will Robertson Mar 28 '15 at 07:59 — Will Robertson, Mar 28 '15 at 07:59

Use the menukeys package. They look even fancier than in SO...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[os=win]{menukeys}

\begin{document}
\keys{\ctrl + \Alt}
\end{document}

enter image description here

If you add the line

\renewmenumacro{\keys}[+]{shadowedroundedkeys}

in the preamble, you can get even fancier output (with shadows)
