   8
   9 The following symbols are used as the names for various keymaps.
  10 Some of these exist when Emacs is first started, others are
  11 loaded only when their respective mode is used.  This is not
  12 an exhaustive list.
  13
  14 Almost all of these maps are used as local maps.  Indeed, of the modes
  15 that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the
  16 global keymap.

  67 A sparse keymap used by Emacs Lisp mode.

  77 It is empty and should not be changed.

  95 search.
  96
  97 @item key-translation-map
  98 @vindex key-translation-map

 109
 110 @item mode-specific-map
 111 The keymap for characters following @kbd{C-c}.  Note, this is in the
 112 global map.  This map is not actually mode specific: its name was chosen
 113 to be informative for the user in @kbd{C-h b} (@code{display-bindings}),
 114 where it describes the main use of the @kbd{C-c} prefix key.
 115
 116 @item occur-mode-map
 117 @vindex occur-mode-map
 118 A local keymap used by Occur mode.

 122 commands; also for @code{y-or-n-p} and @code{map-y-or-n-p}.  The functions
