Some of the key descriptions do not use the correct font: <TAB>, <LEFT>,
and <RIGHT>.

You can see this more easily in the HTML version:

Yes, it's what the author intended.  Whether to use @kbd{@key{...}} or
just @key{...} is many times a judgment call, and this case is
borderline.  However, given that some of the keys in this node are
inside @kbd and some not, and they are so close to each other within
the same text, I think it is better to have them all in @kbd.  So I
made that change, and I'm marking this bug done.

Thanks.
