The correspondence of the command-name and its key-sequence.

Say, C-h k C-g will give the following description:


C-g runs the command keyboard-quit (found in global-map), which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘simple.el’.

It is bound to C-g.

(keyboard-quit)

Signal a ‘quit’ condition.
During execution of Lisp code, this character causes a quit directly.
At top-level, as an editor command, this simply beeps.


But, it's still very hard for me to understand the correspondence of
the command-name and its key-sequence. To summarize, why use C-g to
represent the command keyboard-quit, instead of other more directly
related forms, say, C-q.
