2.4.9 Keymap Type

A keymap maps keys typed by the user to commands. This mapping controls how the user's command input is executed. A keymap is actually a list whose CAR is the symbol keymap.

See section 22. Keymaps, for information about creating keymaps, handling prefix keys, local as well as global keymaps, and changing key bindings.
