I copied and evaluated the describe-keymap function, but when I typed
M-x describe-keymap I got the following error:
save-current-buffer: Symbol’s function definition is void:
Info-make-manuals-xref
I couldn't find the definition of a function by that name in the file
you indicated, so I'm guessing there's some dependencies involved and
that I don't have. Could you provide a version of this function which
works on current master without requiring these extra packages?
Thanks,
