Yeah, indeed

Yeah, I got rather confused when I tried to do it before, myself. It  
would be great if the parser was really forgiving/intelligent so you  
could just do something like {{Shift S}} or {{CTRL-ALT-Z}} or  
{{JKEY}} or whatever and it would just understand and display it with  
a consistent style. That could be asking a bit too much though :)
