You are right, for LaTeX, you would probably want two.  So

    {{{kbd(CTRL-x-f)}}}

would be initiated for org-latex-kdb-format string, which would default to

    \texttt{%s}

Whether a key is needed depends on what it exactly entrails.  If each of
"CTRL", "x" and "f" is a key, then perhaps it makes sense to have a
separate formating-string to e.g. denote "\fbox{%s}", allowing output
like, if desired.

    \texttt{\fbox{Ctrl}-\fbox{x}-\fbox{f}}

I guess the most straight forward way would be just add a new style to
OrgOdtStyles.xml,

    <style:style style:name="OrgKbd" style:family="text" 
style:parent-style-name="Source_20_Text"/>

And output it as,

    <text:span text:style-name="OrgKbd">Ctrl-x-f</text:span>

According to this thread,

    https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-November/021281.html

LO even supports nested text:span, so it could probably even have a
seperate style for KBD.


    <text:span text:style-name="OrgKbd">
    <text:span text:style-name="OrgKey">Ctrl</text:span>-
    <text:span text:style-name="OrgKey">x</text:span>-
    <text:span text:style-name="OrgKey">f</text:span>
    </text:span>

Maybe it’s unnecessary complexity, with little benefit...
