Me. I did not know about it. Seems like what I want to use.

I found it a bit difficult to remember this. Would not a table like the 
one below be helpful? Is it correct?

*****************************************************************************
How to find the keymap for a given key sequence in a buffer
===========================================================

Go through the list below step by step. As soon as a it (see KeyLookup) 
is found in any keymap you are ready.

*) Look in `special-event-map'.

*) If overriding-terminal-local-map look in this. Then go to GLOBAL.

*) If overriding-local-map look in this. Then go to GLOBAL.

*) Is there a "keymap" property of the text or overlay at point?

*) Look for minor mode keymaps in `emulation-mode-map-alists'.

*) Look for minor mode keymaps in `minor-mode-map-alist'.

*) Is there a `local-map' property of the text or overlay at point?

*) Is there a "local keymap" (those are for major modes)?

GLOBAL) Look in the "global keymap".
