Appendix E Standard Keymaps

The following symbols are used as the names for various keymaps. Some of these exist when SXEmacs is first started, others are loaded only when their respective mode is used. This is not an exhaustive list.

Almost all of these maps are used as local maps. Indeed, of the modes that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the global keymap.

The keymap for characters following C-c. Note, this is in the global map. This map is not actually mode specific: its name was chosen to be informative for the user in C-h b (display-bindings), where it describes the main use of the C-c prefix key.
