What changed in the port

Which parts became utilities, which stayed CSS, and why.

  • Utilities: the masked gradient stroke, the spring lift, three shadow states, the chip's dim-and-shift, the arrow advance, the no-support fallback border. CSS: one line — -webkit-mask-composite: xor — plus tokens.
  • That one line is the honest footnote on an otherwise complete port: the prefixed keyword differs from the standard one, so it cannot ride inside the same arbitrary value. Everything else about a gradient border is now a class list.
  • supports-not-[mask-composite:exclude]: puts the fallback on the element. In the CSS original it was an @supports not block two screens away, which is exactly the kind of thing that gets lost in a copy-paste.
  • A11y fix from the CSS original: --muted:#6c7180 on white is ≈4.2:1, and it styles both the <kbd> chip and the disabled label. The port darkens it to oklch(0.47 0.015 265) (≈5.1:1) — and note the chip also drops to 45% opacity on hover, so the resting contrast has to have headroom.

How this works

A gradient border is impossible with border-color. The stroke is a 1px-padded pseudo-element whose two mask layers cancel everywhere except the padding ring:

before:absolute before:inset-0 before:rounded-[inherit] before:p-px
before:bg-[linear-gradient(160deg,var(--stroke-a),var(--stroke-b))]
before:[mask:linear-gradient(#000_0_0)_content-box,linear-gradient(#000_0_0)]
before:[mask-composite:exclude]

Long, and worth it: the alternative is two elements and a wrapper. Note that mask-composite needs the -webkit- keyword xor as well, which the CSS block supplies — the one piece the variant cannot carry.

The <kbd> is real markup, so the shortcut is discoverable by assistive tech rather than being a styled span. It dims rather than disappears, because a shortcut that vanishes on hover is a shortcut you can't learn.

Make it yours

  • Stroke: --color-tb32-stroke-a/b. A 20% lightness delta is enough to read as a bevel.
  • The chip is a plain inline element — swap it for a badge or a count.
  • Hover travel is hover:-translate-y-[3px]: product-grade. 6px is marketing.
  • Drop the inset 0 1px 0 top-light for a matte, flat surface.
  • The arrow's group-hover:translate-x-1 is the smallest motion in the collection. Keep it that small.

Gotchas — read before shipping

  • mask-composite uses different keywords per engine: xor for -webkit-, exclude for the standard. Both must be declared.
  • The stroke occupies before: — use after: for any other decoration.
  • <kbd> inside a button is fine; a nested interactive element is not. Buttons must not contain buttons.
  • Spring overshoot on translate can shimmer subpixel text. Keep it under 10%.
  • Focus rings on pills need outline-offset, not an inset shadow, or the radius mismatches at the ends.

mask-composite needs Chrome 120 / Safari 15.4 (prefixed) / Firefox 53; the supports-not-[...] variant falls back to a flat 1px border. linear() easing needs Chrome 113 / Safari 17.2 / Firefox 112 behind the token's cubic-bezier.
