would it be better to display the key combinations as they appear in the
keyboardrc file that they may be searched for readily if one happens to
develope momentary old-timers, ie: <Primary><Shift>w 
and emphasize that the "Primary" key is the Control Key?

or change <Primary> in the keyboardrc file to <Ctrl> and reference as:
  <Ctrl><Shift>w

fwiw: tmux refers to the primary key as the "prefix" key but that key may
be designated in tmuxrc.
