Re: Is there any handy way to view a custom key map?

["Samuel Banya" <sbanya@fastmail.com>]

Hey there,

Try adding 'free-keys' to your Emacs config with 'use-package' to determine what free keys you have to use for new keybindings (https://github.com/Fuco1/free-keys):

  (use-package free-keys
    :ensure t)

To answer the reverse aka you want to determine what keybindings were already set, apparently 'bind-key' can show the reverse within use-package itself:
https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/blob/master/bind-key.el

Hope that helps :)

Sincerely,

Sam
