Some use the kbd element (Example: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>G</kbd>) to mark
up keyboard shortcuts, but the spec defines kbd as: "Indicates *text* to
be entered by the user." (emphasis mine).
UA support aside, what's the best way to do this?

The concept of "text" is somewhat vague, and it might be argued that
Ctrl G (i.e., BELL, or U+0007) is a character of "text" in a broad sense,
and "Ctrl+G" is one way of referring to it, so
<kbd>Ctrl+G</kbd>
would be OK.
But as you surely know, it's not a big issue in practice, since browsers
generally just render <kbd> in teletype font and leave it at that. If
you, as an author, wish to add (additional) style rules to distinguish
user input from other data, then <kbd> is convenient - but you can handle
things without it, too.

Hi,
I have a vb .net std 2002 windows form app and wanted to
use keyboard shortcuts (& in text property input)
It shows up on the design view, but when I build (in
debug mode) and display the form for use, the characters
that are ampersanded do not show up underlined and the
keyboard shortcut does not work ?
