11The following symbols are used as the names for various keymaps.
12Some of these exist when Emacs is first started, others are
13loaded only when their respective mode is used. This is not
14an exhaustive list.
15
16Several keymaps are used in the minibuffer. @xref{Completion Commands}.
17
18Almost all of these maps are used as local maps. Indeed, of the modes
19that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the
20global keymap.
