Below is a set of conventions used in this page and also within GNU Emacs.
Control Characters
Control characters in Emacs are represented with a capital
"C" followed by a dash and then a letter, number or
both. For example:
C-x (represents pressing the control key and the
"x" key at the same time)
C-x 2 (represents pressing the control key and the
"x" key at the same time followed by the "2" key)
Escape Codes
Escape codes (and the escape key) is sometimes called
Meta codes. On some keyboards, the escape key,
"<Esc>" is also the
"<Alt>" key. Escape codes in Emacs are
represented with a capital "M" followed by a
dash and then a letter, number or both, or a control code. For example:
Other Stuff
RET - is the return or enter key
TAB - is the tab key
LFD - who knows...but you get to it by typing
"C-j"
