I know that I can bring up a Helm buffer which shows available bindings. But I would like to do some scripting around available keybindings and commands. Is there a way to dump that output to a regular buffer rather than to Helm?

  • Are you just looking for C-h b ? (which is describe-bindings, so I'm a bit confused by your question, but maybe helm hijacks that binding? Compare with emacs -Q). – phils Dec 15 '18 at 4:07
  • @phils LIke I said, I want to do some scripting around available keybindings (namely put them into an Anki flash card deck) in order to do that I need a list of all the keybindings and commands. The minibuffer does have that, but isn't something I can just dump to a file to work with. – George Mauer Dec 15 '18 at 15:21
  • That's what describe-bindings does - it creates a buffer listing all the available key bindings. You can save that buffer to a file like you would any other buffer. – Tyler Dec 19 '18 at 15:36
  • @Tyler when I run describe-bindings it opens up a buffer named HELM Descbinds - I can't do anything but type a pattern to filter it or dismiss it. – George Mauer Dec 19 '18 at 22:06
  • helm-descbinds overrides the default version of describe-bindings. Disable helm-descbinds and you should get the default version again – Tyler Dec 19 '18 at 23:24
