bug#45536: [PATCH] Pretty-print keys without <> around modifiers


From: Mattias Engdegård
Subject: bug#45536: [PATCH] Pretty-print keys without <> around modifiers
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 17:21:03 +0100

It is a bit inconsistent that keys are described as C-x and <return> but 
<C-return>. It would be more logical to write C-<return>. The key parser will 
happily accept either, but descriptions without modifiers in <> brackets are 
more legible, and the result is easier to understand and explain.

Attached is a patch which adapts the code that pretty-prints keys. This is a 
change for human consumption only; it seems unlikely to affect compatibility. 
With the patch, <C-M-backspace> is now printed as C-M-<backspace>.

I'd be happy to update the manuals accordingly, and add a NEWS entry if 
required.
