C-h f then the command name, then click the link to see the source
code. Then, search for word map.

C-h m (describe-mode) is only for major mode. Minor mode doesn't have
such documentation.

i wrote a tutorial on table. Might be helpful.

Table formatting (cell padding) and navigation

[Avery Chan]

I am using emacs 24.0.92.1 with the table psuedo-mode.

1) Is there a way to pad cells so that there is one or more spaces between the
text and the cell separator (i.e. '|')?

2) I realize that table mode isn't really a mode. Nonetheless I find doing C-h m
useful for finding out what keys are bound in a particular mode. Where can I
find documentation on what key combinations are bound in table mode? In
particular, I'm trying to determine how to navigate within a table (for example,
I found that tab sends me to the next cell).

Thanks.
