I don't see the difference, and neither does describe-key, AFAIK.

I think it's a waste of cycles.  We have much more important stuff to
spend time on.  But that's me.

Hm...  I think so?  (There's 67 `C-. C-i' in the manual.)

Mind you, I'm only talking about multi-key keystrokes if we were to do
this by default.

But what I really had in mind was to find out whether anybody had any
smart ideas for how to convey to `describe-bindings' how these keys
should be displayed on a per-keymap basis.  I hadn't taken a look at how
keymaps are defined at all...

But they are really char-table objects wrapped in a list?

Would it be possible to add an option to `make-keymap' that would pass
along an argument to control what `describe-bindings' should do with the
keymap?  And then stash that in the char-table object?

Key description and fast typing are two separate issues.  Mnemonics is
yet another, third, issue (and assigning mnemonic value to 'm' in C-m
is generally unusual, IME).  I don't think these additional issues
should affect how we display C-m/RET _everywhere_ in our docs.  E.g.,
would you propose to use C-i instead of TAB?

The problem is that these key bindings, as formatted by describe-keys,
aren't what was intended.  We don't choose key bindings on a whime. `C-c
C-m' for instance (in Message mode), has the "m" as a mnemonic for
"MIME".  `C-c RET' doesn't mean anything.

My 2c:

If we show only C-m then users might not realize that
they can use RET.  If we show only RET then users might
not realize they can use C-m.  That's the way it goes.

In the _doc_ (e.g. *.texi) we can always remind users
that the two are equivalent (but not always equivalent
to <return>).  In particular, we can do that for a key
binding that uses it after another C- key (e.g. after
C-c).

But in C-m, C-b, etc., we should provide the same
key-description format, systematically.  It would be
confusing to sometimes use C-m and sometimes RET in
such contexts.  That could give users the false idea
that the two are different.

Emacs has always used RET in this case (key listings).
And in most cases the key is not used as a prefix key,
and it does not follow a C- key.  And most users (I
think) will recognize and use RET for such cases, even
if they use C-m after a C- key or as a prefix key.

So I'd vote for keeping RET in such lists of key
descriptions.  But I'd agree that it can help to point
out, in doc, that you can use C-m as an alternative.
Pointing that out is especially useful in a context
where the key follows a C- key, and possibly even
where it does not but it is used as a prefix key.

So "the mode writers" you mention aren't necessarily
wrong.  But it would be wrong to change key listings,
which are not specific to a given mode, to use C-m.

You might say that `C-h m' is all about documenting
the _mode_, so its output should reflect what "the
mode writers" use.  If that's the point then the mode
description (doc string) can simply add a sentence
reminding users that C-M =3D RET.  Such a case is not
a good reason not to keep key listings consistent.

I don't see why this should be decided by majority vote.

Anyway, what's the real problem here?  Just the fact that you
personally are annoyed?

But do you use RET instead of `C-m' in these keystrokes because that's
what `describe-bindings' say or because you prefer to hit `RET'?

Anyway, I've grepped through the *.texi files, and there are 152 matches
for `C-c C-m ...' and 8 for `C-c RET'.  And all of those 8 are for RET
as the final character in the keystroke.

If you expand to "C-. C-m"/"C-. RET" it's 170/20.  (All those additional
ones are from mule.texi.)

It seems the mode writers' intentions are pretty clear: They mean for
the users to type C-c C-m ..., but `describe-bindings' tells them to type
C-c RET.

No, I know they're the same.  *points upwards*

C-m and RET are one and the same.  You are probably confusing it with
<return>.

I'm not sure I understand...

Both RET and C-m are keys we press, but the intended (both mnemonic and
ergonomic) key stroke here is `C-c C-m c' (etc) and not the awkward `C-c
RET c'.

It's a key you press, so I think it's a Good Thing that we use RET
here.

It's long annoyed med that `C-m' is described thusly by
describe-bindings:

C-c RET		Prefix Command

C-c RET C-c	mml-secure-message-encrypt
C-c RET C-e	mml-secure-message-sign-encrypt
C-c RET C-n	mml-unsecure-message
C-c RET C-p	Prefix Command
C-c RET C-s	mml-secure-message-sign
C-c RET C	Prefix Command
C-c RET P	mml-preview
C-c RET S	Prefix Command
C-c RET b	mml-attach-buffer
C-c RET c	Prefix Command

I know that `C-m' and RET is the same key binding, but I also think that
when this key is used as a prefix key, I don't think anybody has ever
wanted that to be RET instead of `C-m'.

Or is there a way to distinguish what we mean, somehow?
