I do not even know literal names of commands run by some keys. And
some keys I am invoking while even knowing consciously what I am
doing. Some key commands I would not be able to tell somebody with
certainty without having keyboard in front of me. If I look at
keyboard I could also forget which command is doing what, so often I
will rather not look and just invoke it.
For me, a keyboard is extension part of my cyborg body, I think with
it, but not necessarily know all of its Emacs function names by memory.
When a key binding is missing I would not probably know what was it. I
would have a feeling something is missing but not necessarily remember
consciously what it would be.
It would be then hard to say which function to bind on which key.
