Replying to my own message ! ...

But http://i18n.kde.org/doc/markup/gui.html says 
"<keysym> Right arrow is the <keysym> for the <keycap> that looks like ->. 
Please note this is a KDE specific use of <keysym>, and does not precisely 
follow the examples in the Duck Book. "

So I guess we should be using the KDE specific definitions for <keycap> and 
<keysym> ?
