Thank you. Especially for the list.

But I think we still haven't reached a decision whether the "loop until 
correct key is pressed" behavior is useful.

I tried to think how to fit the above requirements into the existing 
model, and it seems to require a new command, and an additional key 
being pressed sometimes, for explicitness.

The attached patch also includes your fix for bug#65558, which seems 
orthogonal to our dilemma, and could probably be installed separately. 
It could be dry-ed up a little, though.

Anyway, with the attached counter-proposal, the list looks like this:

C-x p p C-b - works when project-switch-use-entire-map=t
C-x p p f M-n - always works
C-u C-x p p f - same
C-x p p C-x d - the key sequence is 'C-x p p o C-x d'

With frames:

C-x 5 p p C-b - works when project-switch-use-entire-map=t
C-x 5 p p f M-n - always works
C-u C-x 5 p p f emoji TAB - same (thanks to your fix, included)
C-x 5 p p C-x d - the key sequence is 'C-x 5 C-x p p o C-x d'

The user could add project-list-buffers (or project-switch-to-buffer) to 
project-switch-commands, though, and then project-switch-use-entire-map 
won't be needed. Either way's fine.

To sum up, that does require pressing an extra key to use commands 
outside of project-prefix-map, but OTOH that key is shown right in the 
commands menu. And one doesn't have to (setq 
project-switch-use-entire-map t) to use it, though that doesn't hurt either.

And the meaning of project-switch-use-entire-map remains as it currently 
is: expand the set of keys to the whole project-prefix-map, but not to 
all local and global ones.

WDYT?
