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