Use settings to adjust how wrapping is done:
This extension contributes the following settings:
markdownKbd.wrapKeyNamesSeparately: control whether to wrap individual key names or the key combination as a wholemarkdownKbd.addSpacesAroundPlusSign: control whether to use space around the plus sign, Cmd+r vs Cmd + rmarkdownKbd.replaceKeynamesWithIcons: control whether to replace ctrl, cmd, opt and shift with icons (^, ⌘, ⌥, ⇧).
Note: settings do not affect retroactively. To wrap text with new settings, use the Wrap keynames in selected area with <kbd> tags command again.

<kbd>elements.
