Severity: minor
Tags: patch

In some cases the tutorial can falsely claim that a user's modified key
bindings no longer correspond to the tutorial's text:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x winner-mode RET
2. C-h t

The user is then presented with the following:

 NOTICE: The main purpose of the Emacs tutorial is to teach you
 the most important standard Emacs commands (key bindings).
 However, your Emacs has been customized by changing some of
 these basic editing commands, so it doesn't correspond to the
 tutorial.  We have inserted colored notices where the altered
 commands have been introduced. [More]

Yet no such coloured notices are to be found in TUTORIAL, since
winner-mode binds only 'C-c <left>' and 'C-c <right>', neither of which
is mentioned in the tutorial.

Pushing the "More" button gives the following *Help* buffer contents:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
The following key bindings used in the tutorial have been changed
from the Emacs default:

   Standard Key   Command                     In Your Emacs   
   C-c 		  mode-specific-command-prefix M-x mode-specific-command-prefix more info

It is OK to change key bindings, but changed bindings do not
correspond to what the tutorial says.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Pushing the "more info" button in turn gives the following *Help* text:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Your Emacs customizations override the default binding for this key:

The default Emacs binding for the key C-c is the command
‘mode-specific-command-prefix’.  However, your customizations have
rebound it to the command ‘(keymap (keymap (right . winner-redo) (left
. winner-undo)) mode-specific-command-prefix)’.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The following patch fixes this:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix handling of changed prefix keys in tutorial

* lisp/tutorial.el (tutorial--find-changed-keys): Use keymapp to
detect prefix definitions rather than hard-coding them.  A notable
omission from the hard-coded list was mode-specific-command-prefix,
whose subcommands are often rebound.

I don't think this qualifies as urgent enough for inclusion in emacs-27,
but I think the fix is harmless enough if desired.  WDYT?

Thanks,
