  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 Almost all of these maps are used as local maps.  Indeed, of the modes
  16 that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the
  17 global keymap.
