   Historically, Emacs has supported a number of different syntaxes for
 defining keys.  The documented way to bind a key today is to use the
 syntax supported by @code{key-valid-p}, which is what all the
 functions like @code{keymap-set} and @code{keymap-lookup} supports.

 Internally, key sequences are often represented as strings using the

 users when rebinding keys.  A string like @code{"\M-x"} is read as
 containing a single @kbd{M-x}, @code{"\C-f"} is read as containing a
 single @kbd{C-f}, and @code{"\M-\C-x"} and @code{"\C-\M-x"} are both
 read as containing a single @kbd{C-M-x}.
