ARCHIVED: How do I get a list of Emacs commands and their keyboard definitions?

This content has been archived, and is no longer maintained by Indiana University. Information here may no longer be accurate, and links may no longer be available or reliable.

In all versions of Emacs, you can get a list of the current key bindings by entering:

  M-x describe-bindings

By default, this help function itself is bound to:

  C-h b

However, since C-h is often sent by the Backspace key, many people find it easier to use the first method.

If you're not sure how to issue these commands in Emacs, see How keystrokes are denoted in Emacs

At Indiana University, for personal or departmental Linux or Unix systems support, see Get help for Linux or Unix at IU.
