The corresponding texinfo source has:

    adjusting the indentation of the affected lines interactively.  While
    this transient mode is active, typing @key{LEFT} or @key{RIGHT}
    indents leftward and rightward, respectively, by one space.  You can
    also type @kbd{S-@key{LEFT}} or @kbd{S-@key{RIGHT}} to indent leftward

It seems that @key{} by itself just puts angle brackets around the key,
without changing font.  @kbd{} translates into <kbd> tags.  So I think
the formatting is as intended.
