   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.
