"Say whether KEYS is a valid key.
A key is a string consisting of one or more key strokes.
The key strokes are separated by single space characters.
"Return non-nil if KEYS, a string, is a valid key sequence.
KEYS should be a string consisting of one or more key strokes,
with a single space character separating one key stroke from another.
Each key stroke is either a single character, or the name of an
event, surrounded by angle brackets. In addition, any key stroke
may be preceded by one or more modifier keys. Finally, a limited
number of characters have a special shorthand syntax.

Here's some example key sequences.
Here are some example of valid key sequences.
\"f\" (the key `f')
\"S o m\" (a three key sequence of the keys `S', `o' and `m')
\"C-c o\" (a two key sequence of the keys `c' with the control modifier
and then the key `o')
\"H-<left>\" (the key named \"left\" with the hyper modifier)
\"S o m\" (a three-key sequence of the keys `S', `o' and `m')
\"C-c o\" (a two-key sequence: the key `c' with the control modifier
followed by the key `o')
\"H-<left>\" (the function key named \"left\" with the hyper modifier)
\"M-RET\" (the \"return\" key with a meta modifier)
\"C-M-<space>\" (the \"space\" key with both the control and meta modifiers)
