I don't think the "prefix command" is vital to know, as the commands
will be listed individually later.  I say skip it.

It would be good to fix "??", yes.

Much better.  Perhaps put "closure" as "(closure)" or "[closure]" or
something to make it clear that this is not a command named "closure"?
Or perhaps "<closure>"?

Is the line necessary at all?  I think one line of spacing is okay
instead.

We could experiment with either bold or a different color for "key" and
"binding" and different combination of blank space/no blank space and
line/no line.

(Can we please capitalize "Key" and "Binding" while we're at it?)
