More keys:

* <TAB> or Tabulating.
* <SPC>
* <CTRL> (since it wouldn't be immediately adjacent to "Control Character")
Just refer to it.
* Maybe even <SHIFT> or Shifting.  In that case that entry could mention
all other modifier keys as well.

The entry <DEL> should be more clear about what key on the keyboard is
meant.  Now it could be taken to be <deletechar>.

Also I think the Meta entry should mention that the key often is
labeled ALT (or at least refer to the Alt entry, where this is said).

(Maybe the possibility of there being Windows symbols on the keys
should also be mentioned, or at least in commands.texi where a less
common case like EDIT is mentioned.)
