I left this unaltered, because in some cases you do need to type C-g
twice, so doing it twice always is safer.

Fixed.

There was a previous example, but it was deleted in Emacs 24.  I fixed
the wording.

I don't see anything wrong with the current typeface, so I left it
alone.

Like earlier, I didn't change anything about the quotes, because I
think that was fixed already.  Please try the latest Texinfo sources.

Likewise.

Likewise.

Done.

Thanks again for reviewing the manual.

I'm marking this bug report done.
