  10 The following symbols are used as the names for various keymaps.
  11 Some of these exist when Emacs is first started, others are
  12 loaded only when their respective mode is used.  This is not
  13 an exhaustive list.
  14
  15 Several keymaps are used in the minibuffer.  @xref{Completion Commands}.
  16
  17 Almost all of these maps are used as local maps.  Indeed, of the modes
  18 that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the
  19 global keymap.
