Ok! The index looks better.

To be homogeneous with other index entries I've used the following:

@kindex c @r{(SingleKey TUI key)}

so we now see

c (continue)
c (Single Key TUI Key)

I've committed the following patch and verified on pdf (well, is it acroread or
a better texinfo, it's the first time I see a good/outstanding PDF for a GNU manual).

	(TUI Keys): Likewise.
