The KeyCap identifies the text printed on a physical key
on a computer keyboard. This is distinct from any scan code
that it may generate (KeyCode), or any symbolic name
(KeySym) that might exist for the key.
Formatted inline. The MoreInfo attribute
can help generate a link or query to retrieve additional information.
