Johannes Altmanninger c921c124ef docs: use canonical key names in :kbd: tags
This seems a bit better because it's what bind uses.  To makes sure that
something like :kbd:`ctrl-x` looks good in HTML, remove the border from the
kbd style.  Else both "ctrl" and "x" get small boxes which looks weird.

fish_key_reader - explore what characters keyboard keys send
============================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
fish_key_reader [OPTIONS]
Description
-----------
:program:`fish_key_reader` is used to explain how you would bind a certain key sequence. By default, it prints the :doc:`bind <bind>` command for one key sequence read interactively over standard input.
The following options are available:
**-c** or **--continuous**
Begins a session where multiple key sequences can be inspected. By default the program exits after capturing a single key sequence.
**-h** or **--help**
Displays help about using this command.
**-v** or **--version**
Displays the current :program:`fish` version and then exits.
Usage Notes
-----------
``fish_key_reader`` intentionally disables handling of many signals. To terminate ``fish_key_reader`` in ``--continuous`` mode do:
- press :kbd:`ctrl-c` twice, or
- press :kbd:`ctrl-d` twice, or
- type ``exit``, or
- type ``quit``
Example
-------
::
> fish_key_reader
Press a key:
# press up-arrow
bind up 'do something'
