Maybe you were clear.  Was I not clear?

DuckDuckGo is your friend, if you seek
a reference other than my say-so.

I even offered you an alternative:
change all occurrences to "keybinding".
(Or to "frobnobit".  Or "speelhowzeldib".
Or "norlewt".  Or...)
___

While you're at it.  Do the same for
"filename": change it to "file name"
(or "file-name" when an adjective
preceding a noun).

There are 7 occurrences of "filename"
in the Emacs manual (apart from code
names).  Versus hundreds and hundreds
of occurrences of "file name".
___

And so on.
