It's not about anyone using "notation" as a word for keys.
It's about being able to easily locate the notational conventions we use in our
manuals.
As I said, contrast the case of the Elisp manual.
In the Elisp manual too we should probably add "notational conventions" as an
index entry, in addition to the existing entry "typographical conventions"
(which takes you to node `Some Terms', a subnode of node `Conventions').
But in that manual (Elisp) things are much clearer because of this top-level
table of contents entry:
`Conventions' - How the manual is formatted
There is no similar organization for the Emacs manual, and consequently it is
more difficult to find a presentation of "how the manual is formatted".
