Introduced with C-h k you can then type some key combination. GNU Emacs will then describe in echo-area ("mini-buffer") that this key combination is not bound to a function or open a *Help* buffer and display the documentation of the function which is bound to the typed key combination.
In X11 you have the utility xev which will explain which X events you have produced by pressing some keys. Maybe Alt+Shift+< does not produce anything...
When you run GNU Emacs in some terminal you do not send any X event to GNU Emacs, only ASCII codes (see "man ascii"). <ESC>-< and <ESC>-<Shift>-<, pressed sequentially as <ESC> first and then either < or >, *will* produce the proper input for GNU Emacs, while pressing Alt+< or Alt+Shift+< *might* produce 8-bit control characters, but what the terminal emulation sends to the programme is not determined because a mapping, established via an X resource for example, might not exist.
I'm not using Arch Linux.
