 Customizing Key Bindings
 ========================
 
    This section describes "key bindings", which map keys to commands,
 and "keymaps", which record key bindings.  It also explains how to
 customize key bindings.
 
    Recall that a command is a Lisp function whose definition provides
 for interactive use.  Like every Lisp function, a command has a function
 name which usually consists of lower-case letters and hyphens.

 
* Keymaps             Generalities.  The global keymap.
* Prefix Keymaps      Keymaps for prefix keys.
* Local Keymaps       Major and minor modes have their own keymaps.
* Minibuffer Maps     The minibuffer uses its own local keymaps.
* Rebinding           How to redefine one key's meaning conveniently.
* Init Rebinding      Rebinding keys with your init file, `.emacs'.
* Function Keys       Rebinding terminal function keys.
* Named ASCII Chars   Distinguishing <TAB> from C-i, and so on.
* Non-ASCII Rebinding Rebinding non-ASCII characters such as Latin-1.
* Mouse Buttons       Rebinding mouse buttons in Emacs.
* Disabling           Disabling a command means confirmation is required
                           before it can be executed.  This is done to protect
                           beginners from surprises.
