No it does not distinguish it enough.
Since when writing in italics means keyboard keys combo?!?*
Italics is more useful to understate something like I just did above, if you want it to meant for keys combo then you should explained it before or afterwards. Uppercased is the norm, and no using "-" or ">" symbol would not confuse me more, in fact it'll instantly make clear, unlike the plain italics.**
Yes, using "-" or ">" will explain it as a procedure or steps or combo etc. including this keys combo.
Either way, it's clearer instead of not using.
For a simple and close example: 'VikingOSX' used it in his/her post up there, I instantly understand.**
It's the ****-ing norm, how hard is it for you to accept it?!?*
Oh, I get it. You're trying to be different, or to be a minimalist; writing as short as possible.
Sure, that's fine if the other side understand it. If not, then adding "-" or ">" will help a lot while you're still being a minimalist.*
Okay, you have been doing it for many years here.
Good for you, maybe you've created a new norm here using just italics to explain that means for keyboard keys combo.
But not at outside, I'm from outside, I'm a noob, rememba?
Have you gone outside, have you participated in outside forums?
I'm sure you'll find exactly what I've described: uppercase and signs are the norm to quickly describe a keys combo, procedure, steps, etc.
Thanks for congratulated a noob like me for not understanding the clever-minimalist combo that you created and used for many many years here. You have just gloriously described me what to expect in the people at this forum, I guess a noob is always meant to be bullied by a lucky snob.*
Oh, and thanks for dropping the "F" bombs so many times. Never had that many in a thread anywhere else before, well Apple communities sure is different, huh?*
* note: now that's how italics should be used.
** note: insert "I'm a ****-ing noob!" immediately after you seen this star sign.
