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.
