Given the above text, I'm not sure I understand what are you looking
for.  Clearly, what specific keys a major mode can reasonably rebind
depends on the mode and what it does, right?  IOW, it's your decision,
as someone who knows what the mode does, and which of its commands
could be usefully regarded as "generalizations" or "customizations" of
those in the related modes.
