Basically, I'd like to view all of the keys maps made in the current buffer by all of plugins, vimrc, etc, in the current buffer. Is there anyway to do this?

You can do that with the :map command. There are also other variants.
:nmapfor normal mode mappings:vmapfor visual mode mappings:imapfor insert mode mappings
The above list is not complete. Typing :help map in Vim will give you more info.

Just for clarify, I believe
:map, as the original question asks, just shows mappings made by plugins, vimrc, etc. If you want to see the default key bindings in vim, use :index
Lqueryvg
@Von, you perhaps mean
:help index.
Tyler Durden
these only give you the user-defined mappings, not the built-in (default) bindings

@AntonDaneyko You can use github.com/AndrewRadev/bufferize.vim for that purpose.

The result is huge, could I
grep or search (/) on their output? |
:redir! > vim_keys.txt :silent verbose map :redir END This outputs the shortcuts, with where they were defined, to a text file.

I believe that you meant to use the
:redir command, not the :remap command.

It is worth to note that
vim_keys.txt file is located in working directory which can be checked by running :pwd.

This is great but doesn't capture insert and command mode mappings, to see everything use :redir! >> vim_keys.txt :silent verbose map :silent verbost map! :redir END

@BrittonKerin: That sounds useful, but I'm having a hard time reading those steps because of the lack of delimiters. Can you put inverted commas (`), AKA 'back ticks', around the commands, please, so they
look like this, or ideally, submit a separate answer, so you'll get some credit as well? Cheers.In addition to answers about :map with no arguments: do not miss its verbose form (:verbose map) which shows where the mapping(s) was defined (see :help map-verbose).

Thus is exactly the tip I did not know I needed, thanks!
Quite simply, just run the :map variants with no arguments.
:map :imap :vmap

:map and its friends are the key, :verbose adds info and :redir allow post-search refinement.
They are a perfect mix to show what command is bind to what shortcut and viceversa, but if you want to search some keys and avoid temp files whenever you need to search mappings, take a look to scriptease and :Verbose command.
It is a wrapper on :verbose to show result in a preview window.
this way you can search whatever you want inside results without using temp files
type :Verbose map and use / ? as usual.

Another way is to save session to a file and then edit this file as it contains all the mappings and settings.
:mks[ession] [file] - Write a Vim script that restores the current editing session.

:help indexto see the VIM's default key bindings. (Credit to Von and Lqueryvg):Telescope keymapsto view/fuzzy search them. Or if you use whichkey you can navigate keymaps through a menu.
