I never got any feedback on this question: Also, is there a good way to control which of several key bindings for a command is output by `substitute-command-keys'? The only way I've found is to make sure that the one I want is the last of the key sequences for that command defined in the map - and that's not always feasible. I found nothing in the manual about which binding is displayed or how to control that.
Does anyone know how to control which of several bindings for a command is displayed by `substitute-command-keys'? The workaround I mentioned works only when you can control all of the `define-key's. It does not work, for instance, if you do a `substitute-key-definition' or, presumably, a (define-key [remap...]...). For example: (substitute-key-definition 'scroll-left 'my-cmd 'minibuffer-local-completion-map) `scroll-left' is globally bound to `C-next' and `C-x <'. I would like the former binding to show via `substitute-command-keys', but the latter shows. I have several bindings like this, all closely related, and all simple bindings using prefix `C-'. But the resulting doc string shows bindings that are all seemingly unrelated (all over the map, so to speak ;-)). If there is no way to control this, could Emacs itself be configured to prefer a binding that does not use a prefix key whenever there is one? That is, could it be designed so that `substitute-command-keys' prefers to show `C-next' instead of `C-x <' for `scroll-left'? (Somehow, I anticipate people saying that some terminals don't have [next] keys, so `C-x <' is better...)
