In any case, the explanation in the Texinfo manual should be more
clear on this, IMHO. It should explain what keys are suitable for
@key, and why.
Here is what the `key' node says now. Documentation improvements are
always welcome, of course. I'm not too clear myself on exactly how to
make it better.
@node key
@subsection @code{@@address@hidden@address@hidden
@findex key
Use the @code{@@key} command for the conventional name for a key on a
keyboard, as in:
@example
@@address@hidden@}
@end example
You can use the @code{@@key} command within the argument of an
@code{@@kbd} command when the sequence of characters to be typed
includes one or more keys that are described by name.
[...]
There are subtleties to handling words like `meta' or `ctrl' that are
names of modifier keys. When mentioning a character in which the
modifier key is used, such as @kbd{Meta-a}, use the @code{@@kbd} command
alone; do not use the @code{@@key} command; but when you are referring
to the modifier key in isolation, use the @code{@@key} command. For
example, write @samp{@@address@hidden@}} to produce @kbd{Meta-a} and
@samp{@@address@hidden@}} to produce @key{META}.
