Hi Marcin, I'm going to reference a hangout of Sacha Chua and Xah Lee where they talked about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKPKWqvTImA
( you can download it with livestreamer like so livestreamer -o xlsc.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKPKWqvTImA 360p ) At 26:53 Xah Lee starts explaining about how his setup related to rendering keystrokes in emacs. At 27:13 he mentions this function => xhm-htmlize-keyboard-shortcut-notation Apparently this is used to render the keystrokes.
