54 This is used in `help-with-tutorial'. The information includes
55 the key sequence that no longer has a default binding, the
56 default binding and the current binding. It also tells in what
57 keymap the new binding has been done and how to access the
58 function in the default binding from the keyboard.
60 For `cua-mode' key bindings that try to combine CUA key bindings
61 with default Emacs bindings information about this is shown.
63 VALUE should have either of these formats:
65 \(cua-mode)
66 \(current-binding KEY-FUN DEF-FUN KEY WHERE)
68 Where
69 KEY is a key sequence whose standard binding has been changed
70 KEY-FUN is the actual binding for KEY
71 DEF-FUN is the standard binding of KEY
72 WHERE is a text describing the key sequences to which DEF-FUN is

91 region is active, so in most cases, they do not conflict with the
92 normal function of these prefix keys.
94 If you really need to perform a command which starts with one of
95 the prefix keys even when the region is active, you have three
96 options:
