Added my-insert-kbd function

| Oct 8, 2014 at 4:07 | comment | added | phils | FWIW, I feel that my approach retains the notation that Emacs uses and improves the clarity of that notation for the reader. That seems to me like nothing but a good thing. I don't believe it in any way detracts from the reader's ability to subsequently comprehend the same bindings as displayed within Emacs. | |
| Oct 8, 2014 at 3:46 | comment | added | phils | I don't follow that, Drew. Emacs doesn't use any quoting notation for key sequences. e.g. if you view the help for a command, the relevant key sequence is not quoted (whereas functions and variables are). There's nothing to make me think that we must use backquotes around keystrokes in order to be consistent with the Emacs representation. To my mind the only critical thing is that we use the standard Emacs notation for key chords, and using <kbd> does not preclude that. | |

No, this is worse. It is better to use the same notation (convention) that Emacs itself uses, which treats key sequences and inline code (command names, sexps in general) the same way. In Emacs, that means backquote...quote. In SE it should mean backquote...backquote. C-x C-f ~/.emacs RET. If really not clear enough from the context, you can add spaces to indicate separate keys: C-x C-f ~ / . e m a c s RET.
