Do you mean to use the first active keymap?

I can see how that make sense, and would probably be intuitive when
trying to figure out what keymap is active in different parts of a
buffer (for example over a button).

If that's what you're thinking of, I wonder if there's any way to get
the name of the highest precedent keymap among the active keymaps?

This was the first thing I tried, but it didn't work:

   (car (current-active-maps t (point)))

Best regards,
