Re: rcirc manual

    @key{TAB} is typeset to show an image of a key on a keyboard.  I
    think it is not the right markup in this case, because this manual
    does not talk about keys, it talks about typing a TAB.

>From the Texinfo Manual:

  (texinfo)kbd

    Use the address@hidden' command for characters of input to be typed by 
users.
    For example, to refer to the characters `M-a', write:

         @kbd{M-a}

    and to refer to the characters `M-x shell', write:

         @kbd{M-x shell}

  (texinfo)key

    Use the address@hidden' command for the conventional name for a key on a
    keyboard, as in:

         @key{RET}

      You can use the address@hidden' command within the argument of an 
address@hidden'
    command when the sequence of characters to be typed includes one or
    more keys that are described by name.

      For example, to produce `C-x <ESC>' you would type:

         @kbd{C-x @key{ESC}}
