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

73 WHERE is a text describing the key sequences to which DEF-FUN is
