For example, I accidentally press the wrong key combination and it does something I don't expect and I want to find out what it was. I would usually have no idea what section to look in. But can I look it up in the key-binding index.
Are you deliberately spiting Emacs's brilliant online help facilities? The gods will be angry. :-)
C-h k "What does this key do?" C-h l "Woah, what key chord did I just do?" C-h m "Tell me all about this mode" C-h b "Exactly what bindings are available?"
Not at all. You see I've got a slight problem. My C-h key was bound to backspace on the emacs system I learned on years ago, so I never learned the above key-bindings.
And after reading a couple recent threads where its usefulness has appeared manifest, I've been stewing about what to do. Unlearn one and learn the others? Are there other commonly used alternatives?
I don't want to do it wrong twice.
