Recover key inputs?

Recover key inputs?

[Colin Baxter 😺]

Hello,

Now and again I enter the wrong key combination for whatever I want to
do in emacs. Sometimes when this happens I get an interesting output
from some feature of emacs unknown to me. Unfortunately, I often cannot
remember the keys I entered so this "interesting feature" remains
unknown. The Message buffer is usually unhelpful. Is there any way I can
recover a list of entered keys?

Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

Great. I should scroll down more after `C-h ?' - thank you.
