Since Tim has put the docs on the Web I revisited them. And I still

Why is Ctrl+ followed by upper case letters when one must use the
lower case equivalent?
There are actually several reasons for this.
I don't know about yours, but on my keyboard, all of the alpha keys are
labeled with upper case letters. That is, I press the Ctrl and T keys
to get the ASCII value 0x24, not the Ctrl and t keys.
Original ASCII, from whence these names derived, only had lowercase,
uppercase, and control. Ctrl-A was unambiguous, because there was no
code for Ctrl-Shift-A.
The Ctrl+T spelling was also mandated by the old Windows User Interface
Style Guide.
