Don't say just "option" when talking about variables. Other minor cleanups.

@kindex C-x RET k
@findex set-keyboard-coding-system
@vindex keyboard-coding-system
  The command @kbd{C-x @key{RET} k} (@code{set-keyboard-coding-system})
or the Custom option @code{keyboard-coding-system}
specifies the coding system for keyboard input.  Character-code
translation of keyboard input is useful for terminals with keys that
send non-@acronym{ASCII} graphic characters---for example, some terminals designed
for ISO Latin-1 or subsets of it.

  By default, keyboard input is translated based on your system locale
setting.  If your terminal does not really support the encoding
implied by your locale (for example, if you find it inserts a
non-@acronym{ASCII} character if you type @kbd{M-i}), you will need to set

@file{iso-ascii} to do this.

@vindex latin1-display
  If your terminal can display Latin-1, you can display characters
from other European character sets using a mixture of equivalent
Latin-1 characters and @acronym{ASCII} mnemonics.  Use the Custom option
@code{latin1-display} to enable this.  The mnemonic @acronym{ASCII}
sequences mostly correspond to those of the prefix input methods.

directly.

On a windowing terminal, you should not need to do anything special to
use these keys; they should simply work.  On a text-only terminal, you
should use the command @code{M-x set-keyboard-coding-system} or the
Custom option @code{keyboard-coding-system} to specify which coding
system your keyboard uses (@pxref{Specify Coding}).  Enabling this
feature will probably require you to use @kbd{ESC} to type Meta
characters; however, on a Linux console or in @code{xterm}, you can
arrange for Meta to be converted to @kbd{ESC} and still be able type
8-bit characters present directly on the keyboard or using
@kbd{Compose} or @kbd{AltGr} keys.  @xref{User Input}.
