But maybe we could make the following work: > `C-x 4 C-h k C-f`. Quelle horreur ! Farther & farther from Occam - more & more complex. For what gain? Don't multiply things unnecessarily. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor This _looks_ like a solution that's looking for a problem to solve. Evidence to the contrary? We already have `C-x 4 C-h', which shows you every `C-x 4' key sequence and its command, with a link to its doc. Que demande le peuple ? Global Bindings Starting With C-x 4: key binding --- ------- C-x 4 C-f find-file-other-window C-x 4 C-o display-buffer C-x 4 . xref-find-definitions-other-window C-x 4 0 kill-buffer-and-window C-x 4 a add-change-log-entry-other-window C-x 4 b switch-to-buffer-other-window C-x 4 c clone-indirect-buffer-other-window C-x 4 d dired-other-window C-x 4 f find-file-other-window C-x 4 m compose-mail-other-window C-x 4 r find-file-read-only-other-window And we already have `C-h k C-x 4 C-f'. `C-h k' just _works_ -- for any key sequence. It ain't broke; please don't fix it. There are many other things to work on - real, not imaginary, problems.
