Subject: 25.0.50; Wrong index entry for rebinding keys
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 10:15:25 -0700 (PDT)

C-h r i rebind TAB shows these candidates:

rebinding keys, permanently
rebinding major mode keys
rebinding mouse buttons
rebinding non-ASCII keys

And if I use Icicles apropos completion, I can see these candidates:

key rebinding, permanent
key rebinding, this session  ; <===== MISSING above
rebinding keys, permanently 
rebinding major mode keys
rebinding mouse buttons
rebinding non-ASCII keys 

First, there should be an entry that starts with "rebinding" and that
corresponds to entry `key rebinding, this session' and targets node
`Rebinding'.

Second, the target for `rebinding keys, permanently' and `key rebinding,
permanent' is incorrect, IMO.  Those entries should target node `Init
Rebinding', not node `Init File'.  There is nothing in node `Init File'
about keys.

This is from the node:

@node Rebinding
@subsection Changing Key Bindings Interactively
@cindex key rebinding, this session
@cindex redefining keys, this session
@cindex binding keys

I wonder whether that 

@cindex redefining keys, this session

is a mistake, and that it should be

@cindex rebinding keys, this session

Opinions?

This was fixed by Eli in 2018.  They now point to "Init Rebinding".

Yes, it's most probably the result of M-/ or somesuch.

OK; I've now changed the text and I'm closing this report.
