If, however, you do use the real name of the key and give an explanation of it, you can actually teach the readers the name.

If WE don't know the name of the key, our users are even less likely to know
its name, and it seems pretty pointless to find it out and then use it
without some additional explanation. So, my advice is to make up a
drawing/picture/facsimile of the keycap, show it, and then state that, for
the purposes of this document, we'll call it the Framis key.
