Exactly what I would have said.
Commands can be bound to keys (or vice versa).
We speak of key bindings.
And we use this terminology _"when these
distinctions matter"_. Good point.
That's much/most of the time. But in some cases
(e.g. the Emacs tutorial) we apparently decided
at some point that these distinctions didn't
matter for its presentation. That doesn't mean
that there's no difference between a key and a
command.
