Don’t we already have a special markup in texinfo for keybindings?
otherwise we ought to: we control texinfo (essentially used for emacs and
some other popular gnu stuff (since it’s used by gnu stuff)), and the main

We could add some markup to contextualize the origin of keybindings (for
instance what mode/software the current section is talking about)
