Lars, you need better doc for this command. ;-) Seriously. To enlighten yourself and thus help in coming up with that doc: 1. See what the Elisp manual says, as the bug report indicated. 2. Consult the code, in help.el. In #2 you will see this: ;; Make C-h after a prefix, when not specifically bound, ;; run describe-prefix-bindings. (setq prefix-help-command 'describe-prefix-bindings) Maybe this will help you see why code comments are not substitutes for doc strings. Had appropriate info been available to you interactively via `C-h f describe-prefix-bindings' you would not have needed to ask others or consult the code. Now try it: C-x C-h C-x RET C-h M-s C-h ... Another lesson learned: Not every command is designed to work best with `M-x'.

It's not up to a bug report to teach what the function does or how it's implemented or used. This bug report was to say that this is not sufficiently documented. > I've now added `describe-prefix-bindings' to the "Misc Help" > node in the Emacs manual. Thanks. Hopefully you added some of the info I provided that helped you understand, so that other users will also understand. Likewise for the doc string (and perhaps for the text in the Elisp manual too). The goal should be for someone like Lars to be able to understand this function by reading its doc: what it's for, how to use it, what it does.
