In Emacs (GNU 23.2, *nix), how can I:
- list the key sequences bound to a particular command? For example, how can we list all the key sequences that execute
save-buffers-kill-emacs
, with the output of key sequences bound to it? Assuming we can do this, listing the key sequences bound togoto-line
should print the output:M-g g
on a default install. - list all key-bindings? Does
C-h b
do this? Would it print my own bindings?
I am aware that executing the command directly can print a key sequence it can be activated with, but it doesn't always do so, and a few things happen, including:
(1) the output doesn't remain for long, (2) the command is executed.
I want a command that lists for me (preferably all) the bindings attached to a given command, without executing the command, or something like that.
