You can find it with M-x apropos.
The minibuffer-.*-map variables look interesting.

Unfortunately I think there's no guarantee it will work everywhere, as
other commands might override the keymap.  You might be able to override
them once more by hooking into: `minibuffer-setup-hook'.

Also, note that you'll need to make an interactive function out of the
form to bind it to a key.
