Hi Dave,

What is the difference please, semantically?

According to the TDG:

  keycap — The text printed on a key on a keyboard
  keysym — The symbolic name of a key on a keyboard

The TDG gives you an example:


Or in other words, roughly spoken: Use keycap if your reader has to press a key. Use keysym if you "develop" a program and talk about a symbolic name of a key.


Context, texinfo has @key{PAGEUP} (a label on a key)
but it also has @key{PRIOR} which my keyboard doesn't have.

Which is the more general docbook 4.5 markup please?

I am not sure, but maybe this is an option:

  <keycap function="other" otherfunction="...">PRIOR</keycap>

Invent your meaning for the otherfunction attribute.

Emacs is very heavy on key bindings.
M-C-F1  is press ALT, control and F1.

How might that be marked up?
M-x revert-buffer is another command.

It seems a mix between user input and key|sym|cap
There is no 'M' key (stands for META).

regards
