Depending on the purpose, you can do:
(seq-into VEC 'string)
or
(key-description VEC)
The first will fail if your key sequence includes non-character events,
or events with non-trivial modifiers. The second will give you a string
that's human readable but needs to be passed through `kbd` before it can
be used as a "key sequence" (e.g. for define-key).
