Omitted from initial implementation in #6635.

Add little borders & boxes to really emphasize that the keys are keys to press. I don't know how to do this in XAML, but I think it would be a bit of nice polish.

I think PowerToys does something similar with its Key Remapping.

Maybe you could decide on a "house style" to try to be consistent?

Strong veto. When we have key chords (as opposed to just key notes, see #1334), then we'll definitely want to keep the current design, for something like Ctrl+K+Ctrl+U.

This is at odds with #1334 now. We currently have a version that displays each key chord in its own pill.

When we have chords composed of notes (i.e, when implementing #1334), we should come back around to update this UI too 😉
