@section Active Keymaps
@cindex active keymap
@cindex global keymap
Emacs contains many keymaps, but at any time only a few keymaps are
@dfn{active}. When Emacs receives user input, it translates the input
event (@pxref{Translation Keymaps}), and looks for a key binding in
the active keymaps.
Usually, the active keymaps are: (i) the keymap specified by the
@code{keymap} property, (ii) the keymaps of enabled minor modes, (iii)
the current buffer's local keymap, and (iv) the global keymap, in that
order. Emacs searches for each input key sequence in all these
keymaps.
Of these ``usual'' keymaps, the highest-precedence one is specified
by the @code{keymap} text or overlay property at point, if any. (For
a mouse input event, Emacs uses the event position instead of point;
@iftex
see the next section for details.)
@end iftex
@ifnottex
@pxref{Searching Keymaps}.)
@end ifnottex
Next in precedence are keymaps specified by enabled minor modes.
These keymaps, if any, are specified by the variables
@code{emulation-mode-map-alists},
@code{minor-mode-overriding-map-alist}, and
@code{minor-mode-map-alist}. @xref{Controlling Active Maps}.
@cindex local keymap
Emacs normally contains many keymaps; at any given time, just a few
of them are @dfn{active}, meaning that they participate in the
interpretation of user input. All the active keymaps are used
together to determine what command to execute when a key is entered.
Normally the active keymaps are the @code{keymap} property keymap,
the keymaps of any enabled minor modes, the current buffer's local
keymap, and the global keymap, in that order. Emacs searches for each
input key sequence in all these keymaps. @xref{Searching Keymaps},
for more details of this procedure.
When the key sequence starts with a mouse event,
the active keymaps are determined based on the
position in that event. If the event happened on a string embedded
with a @code{display}, @code{before-string}, or @code{after-string}
property (@pxref{Special Properties}), the non-@code{nil} map
properties of the string override those of the buffer (if the
underlying buffer text contains map properties in its text properties
or overlays, they are ignored).
The @dfn{global keymap} holds the bindings of keys that are defined
regardless of the current buffer, such as @kbd{C-f}. The variable
@code{global-map} holds this keymap, which is always active.
Each buffer may have another keymap, its @dfn{local keymap}, which
may contain new or overriding definitions for keys. The current
buffer's local keymap is always active except when
@code{overriding-local-map} overrides it. The @code{local-map} text
or overlay property can specify an alternative local keymap for certain
parts of the buffer; see @ref{Special Properties}.
Each minor mode can have a keymap; if it does, the keymap is active
when the minor mode is enabled. Modes for emulation can specify
additional active keymaps through the variable
@code{emulation-mode-map-alists}.
The highest precedence normal keymap comes from the @code{keymap}
text or overlay property. If that is non-@code{nil}, it is the first
keymap to be processed, in normal circumstances.
However, there are also special ways for programs to substitute
other keymaps for some of those. The variable
@code{overriding-local-map}, if non-@code{nil}, specifies a keymap
that replaces all the usual active keymaps except the global keymap.
The very highest precedence keymap comes from
@code{overriding-terminal-local-map}; it operates on a per-terminal basis and
is normally used for modal/transient keybindings.
Next in precedence is the buffer's @dfn{local keymap}, containing
key bindings specific to the buffer. The minibuffer also has a local
keymap (@pxref{Intro to Minibuffers}). If there is a @code{local-map}
text or overlay property at point, that specifies the local keymap to
use, in place of the buffer's default local keymap.
@cindex major mode keymap
Since every buffer that uses the same major mode normally uses the
same local keymap, you can think of the keymap as local to the mode. A
change to the local keymap of a buffer (using @code{local-set-key}, for
example) is seen also in the other buffers that share that keymap.
The local keymap is normally set by the buffer's major mode, and
every buffer with the same major mode shares the same local keymap.
Hence, if you call @code{local-set-key} (@pxref{Key Binding Commands})
to change the local keymap in one buffer, that also affects the local
keymaps in other buffers with the same major mode.
The local keymaps that are used for Lisp mode and some other major
modes exist even if they have not yet been used. These local keymaps are
the values of variables such as @code{lisp-mode-map}. For most major
modes, which are less frequently used, the local keymap is constructed
only when the mode is used for the first time in a session.
@cindex global keymap
Finally, the @dfn{global keymap} contains key bindings that are
defined regardless of the current buffer, such as @kbd{C-f}. It is
always active, and is bound to the variable @code{global-map}.
The minibuffer has local keymaps, too; they contain various completion
and exit commands. @xref{Intro to Minibuffers}.
Apart from the above ``usual'' keymaps, Emacs provides special ways
for programs to make other keymaps active. Firstly, the variable
@code{overriding-local-map} specifies a keymap that replaces the usual
active keymaps, except for the global keymap. Secondly, the
terminal-local variable @code{overriding-terminal-local-map} specifies
a keymap that takes precedence over @emph{all} other keymaps
(including @code{overriding-local-map}); this is normally used for
modal/transient keybindings (the function @code{set-transient-map}
provides a convenient interface for this). @xref{Controlling Active
Maps}, for details.
Emacs has other keymaps that are used in a different way---translating
events within @code{read-key-sequence}. @xref{Translation Keymaps}.
Making keymaps active is not the only way to use them. Keymaps are
also used in other ways, such as for translating events within
@code{read-key-sequence}. @xref{Translation Keymaps}.

@section Searching the Active Keymaps
@cindex searching active keymaps for keys
After translation of event subsequences (@pxref{Translation
Keymaps}) Emacs looks for them in the active keymaps. Here is a
pseudo-Lisp description of the order and conditions for searching
them:
Here is a pseudo-Lisp summary of how Emacs searches the active
keymaps:
@lisp

@end lisp
@noindent
Here, @var{find-in} and @var{find-in-any} are pseudo functions that
search in one keymap and in an alist of keymaps, respectively.
(Searching a single keymap for a binding is called @dfn{key lookup};

search in one keymap and in an alist of keymaps, respectively. Note
that the @code{set-transient-map} function works by setting
@code{overriding-terminal-local-map} (@pxref{Controlling Active
Maps}).
In the above pseudo-code, if a key sequence starts with a mouse
event, that event's position is used instead of point and the current
buffer. Mouse events on an embedded string use non-@code{nil} text
properties from that string instead of the buffer.
event (@pxref{Mouse Events}), that event's position is used instead of
point, and the event's buffer is used instead of the current buffer.
In particular, this affects how the @code{keymap} and @code{local-map}
properties are looked up. If a mouse event occurs on a string
embedded with a @code{display}, @code{before-string}, or
@code{after-string} property (@pxref{Special Properties}), and the
string has a non-@code{nil} @code{keymap} or @code{local-map}
property, that overrides the corresponding property in the underlying
buffer text (i.e., the property specified by the underlying text is
ignored).
When a match is found (@pxref{Key Lookup}), if the binding in the
keymap is a function, the search is over. However if the keymap entry
is a symbol with a value or a string, Emacs replaces the input key
sequences with the variable's value or the string, and restarts the
search of the active keymaps.
When a key binding is found in one of the active keymaps, and that
binding is a command, the search is over---the command is executed.
However, if the binding is a symbol with a value or a string, Emacs
replaces the input key sequences with the variable's value or the
string, and restarts the search of the active keymaps. @xref{Key
Lookup}.
