Your presentation at the pgconf.dev really convinced me that this is
a useful feature.
I had only one consideration:

In the spirit of looking more like SQL, how about replacing the
arrows with FROM and TO?
Either
a JOIN b FOR KEY (col1) TO (col2)
or, slightly more verbose and natural language-like:
a JOIN b FOR KEY FROM (col1) TO (col2)
And if the arrow points the other way,
a JOIN b FOR KEY (col1) FROM (col2)
or
a JOIN b FOR KEY TO (col1) FROM (col2)
Yours,
