In one of these, <kbd>w</kbd> is self-inserting. Something similar happens when you are on a terminal, as I wrote in my response. I suspect you have point in the wrong place. | |
| Mar 20, 2021 at 22:38 | comment | added | Trey | But I haven’t remapped w. That’s my whole point—I’d like to figure out why it says w is self-insert when in the Ediff window, when I haven’t manually done this. Some debugging process of removing the layers of remapping to see how Emacs got there. | |
| Mar 20, 2021 at 22:34 | comment | added | Francesco Potortì | That would be very strange. In my example case, this means you have remapped <kbd>w</kbd>. | |
| Mar 20, 2021 at 19:17 | comment | added | Trey | No problem... but as my original question said, I’d apparently gobbled up some of the bindings with my own global bindings, so describe-key won’t help for me. (Unless I run it from within emacs -Q, but as I described above, that isn’t really an answer, either.) | |

| Mar 19, 2021 at 19:57 | comment | added | Trey | Also, as I explained above, I used “X” to stand in for any given key or sequence like <kbd>wd</kbd> — both because X is a variable and because X is not an actual ediff command and I didn’t want an answer that just told me what, say, <kbd>wd</kbd> refers to without telling me how to find that out myself for all the keys. | |
| Mar 19, 2021 at 19:55 | comment | added | Trey | Sorry, if I go to the section “3.1 Quick Help Commands” of my original link, I see a list of commands, for instance, “wd: Saves the output from the diff utility for further reference”. How do I discover what <kbd>M-x</kbd> command this <kbd>wd</kbd> refers to? | |
