The first @kbd should be @kbd{@key{Ctrl} H}, I think. For two
reasons:
. "Ctrl" is a single key, not 4 characters C t r l
. "+" isn't something the user should type
IOW, what you suggest violates our (and Texinfo's) conventions for
markup of key sequences. Which is why I proposed a pure-English
description that doesn't use any fancy markup that could only confuse
at this point.
Question: what do we gain from using "Ctrl+H" instead?
