[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Emacs Maintainers,

  1. In (elisp) Edebug Misc, the manual states that ‘C-]’
  is mapped to ‘abort-recursive-edit’.  While this is
  correct, that mapping is in the global-map.  In
  edebug-mode-map, ‘a’ is mapped to
  ‘abort-recursive-edit’.  Also, the Edebug menu item for
  “Abort” lists ‘a’, and the documentation string for
  edebug-mode lists ‘a’ as mapped to
  ‘abort-recursive-edit’.

  2. Also in (elisp) Edebug Misc, the manual states that
  ‘d’ is mapped to the function ‘edebug-backtrace’.  There
  is no function with this name in edebug.el.  In Edebug
  mode, ‘d’ is mapped to ‘edebug-pop-to-backtrace’.

  3. In the Edebug/Views sub-menu, “View Outside Windows”
  is mapped to ‘P’ (capital ‘p’), while (elisp) Edebug
  Views states that ‘v’ is mapped to
  ‘edebug-view-outside’.  In fact, both ‘P’ and ‘v’ are
  mapped to this function in Edebug mode.  Either the
  manual should match what the sub-menu entry says, or the
  sub-menu entry should be changed to match what the elisp
  manual says.  (Or, both should mention both keys, if
  there is a reason to map both keys to the function.)

I've now changed the manual in Emacs 28 to mention both.

Ditto.

I've changed the manual to mention both.
