@key broken

[Werner LEMBERG]

[texinfo.tex 2009-01-01.14]

The input

  A @key{foo} B

in PDF shows an extra space after A.  Patch below.

BTW, I consider it a bad idea that there is no more any special
indication in the printed output for @key -- this is too Emacs-centric
IMHO.  For groff.texinfo I have, for example, this list of escapes in
the index:

  \r
  \R
  \<RET>
  \s
  \S
  \<SP>

In the printed manual, this looks like

  \r
  \R
  \RET
  \s
  \S
  \SP

where everything is typeset in typewriter font.  Why not using <RET>
for @key{RET} in the PDF too?
