This means - for me - that the problem is "C-h t", actually. Perhaps,
this is the mysterious notation (next to the Ctrl instead of Control?)
you were writing about, from the very beginning? Then, basically the
whole sentence, not only the text between parens, has to be rewritten
to get rid of "C-h t".

BTW, since you didn't write where the definition of this notation is
written, I still assume that it's in the beginning of the
COMMANDS.TEXI (Kinds of User Input).
