22. Keymaps

The command bindings of input events are recorded in data structures called keymaps. Each entry in a keymap associates (or binds) an individual event type, either to another keymap or to a command. When an event type is bound to a keymap, that keymap is used to look up the next input event; this continues until a command is found. The whole process is called key lookup.

22.1 Key Sequences		Key sequences as Lisp objects.
22.2 Keymap Basics		Basic concepts of keymaps.
22.3 Format of Keymaps		What a keymap looks like as a Lisp object.
22.4 Creating Keymaps		Functions to create and copy keymaps.
22.5 Inheritance and Keymaps		How one keymap can inherit the bindings of another keymap.
22.6 Prefix Keys		Defining a key with a keymap as its definition.
22.7 Active Keymaps		How Emacs searches the active keymaps for a key binding.
22.8 Searching the Active Keymaps		A pseudo-Lisp summary of searching active maps.
22.9 Controlling the Active Keymaps		Each buffer has a local keymap to override the standard (global) bindings. A minor mode can also override them.
