Sometimes there are deviations, either because of different use (like this one), or because of differences in the style sheets. (I used to document the latter, but I'm not sure this is still done. It's in fact necessary for interoperability with other systems like GNOME. Anyway.) I don't recall how the text you quote came about. It may be that it was decided that keysym was the description for the text printed on the key (because that may vary, as we know). I'm not so happy with that use of keysym (and especially not when this deviation is not marked up with role), but given the relatively subtle distinction, there's not an awful lot hingeing on this I guess (should it have become established KDE practice). Keysym is a rather low-level concept. Frederik
