Note that, per (info "(texinfo) @key"), this should still be

  \texttt{Ctrl-x-f}

@key is only applied to the modifier key in isolation.

Another idea could be to allow second argument to implement styles, e.g.

  {{{kbd(C-x-f, menukeys)}}}

We need to implement a couple of them, tho. Marcin offered some help
here.

I think I like it because it is closer to Texinfo syntax.
