Some answers contain characters that look like keyboard keys. They look like
Ctrl + E
What markup do I need to add to make Ctrl and E look like actual keys?
That's not mentioned in the formatting help.

16+1 for adding this to the formatting help (rather than having needed Google to come up with this page).– Jon SchneiderNov 30, 2011 at 17:36

Use the
<kbd>
tag, like <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>Enter</kbd> for Shift+Enter.
After this answer was accepted, the <kbd> tag was disabled on Meta. It then still worked on SO, SF and SU. Meanwhile it has been enabled on Meta again as well.

Use the kbd tag:
<kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>E</kbd>
The rendered output would look like this:
Ctrl+E
