There's (kbd "...") and [...]. Could we deprecate one of these in favor of
the other for simplicity?

I like having them both available. -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

We could try and deprecate the `kbd' syntax, but I think most people would rather deprecate the [...] syntax instead ;-) Stefan ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

If [...] is used under the hood, I suppose that is the one, although I don't remember the details of the argument. -- Emanuel Berg - programmer (hire me!
