I am trying to use C-h k
to describe the function to which a key is bound. But when I use it with a key chord like C-u C-e C-x
it retrieves the documentation for C-u
before I can finish typing the chord. What is the correct way to describe this type of chord?

Prefix keys like C-u may be described in the function body. You should therefore ignore such prefix keys when using C-h k to describe a function.
