I just happened to be wondering the same thing this evening, and was about to write to the list asking a similar question when I saw this email. My interest is in creating keybindings for a plugin, and I do not know how I can create them and be certain that they will not clash with default keybindings. (Let alone avoiding clashes with both the Windows- and emacs-style look-and-feel settings!)

One of my uncertainties is that I do not know if there is an etiquette or scheme for claiming a new key combo for a new purpose. Are there certain wildcards/prefixes that are reserved for certain uses? Are there certain keys that should be left for the user to customize? (F1-F12? Others?) Are there certain prefixes that are encouraged for plugins? (I try to bind my commands to sequences like 'C-h v b', but the 'C-h' appears as text until I type the 'v', and remains if I instead type something that has not been bound.)

I confess that I find the help system to be very difficult to navigate; there is always the nagging suspicion, when browsing, that there is some documentation that I might have missed. I usually only find answers when I am lucky enough to choose the right keyword for a search, and that has not worked for these questions.

Robert
