+@appendix Standard Keymaps
+
+The following symbols are used as the names for various keymaps.
+Some of these exist when Emacs is first started, others are
+only loaded when their respective mode is used.  This is not
+an exhaustive list.
+
+Almost all of these maps are used as local maps.  Indeed, of the modes
+that presently exist, only Vip mode and Terminal mode ever change the
+global keymap.
+
+@table @code
+@item Buffer-menu-mode-map
+@vindex Buffer-menu-mode-map
+A full keymap used by Buffer Menu mode.

+If there are none, then it contains an empty sparse keymap.

+It is empty and should not be changed.
+
+@item Helper-help-map

+@item mode-specific-map
+The keymap for characters following @kbd{C-c}.  Note, this is in the

+time.
