    the listing may contain several entries where the key binding is "Prefix 
    Command". In what way is it useful to tell this in the list? Does not 
    that just confuse users?

It is useful to say that those characters are prefixes.
I do not think it is confusing, so I don't want to change it.

Please let's not spend time discussing it.
