This report is about the question asked at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2023-08/msg00462.html>.

Reproduce (-Q):

    (keymap-global-set "<signal> <usr1>"
      (lambda ()  ; doesn't work.
        (interactive)
        (message "teeest: signal usr1")))
    (signal-process (emacs-pid) 'sigusr1)
    (keymap-set special-event-map "<sigusr1>"
      (lambda ()  ; does work
        (interactive)
        (message "teeest: sigusr1")))

Is this a documentation bug?  Or am I missing something?

Stefan, it sounds like the first example is some left-over from old
handling of signals?  I don't see a "function key" named 'signal'
bound anywhere in the global map.  So the 1st example above should
only work if 'signal' is a prefix key bound in the global-map, right?

  (keymap-lookup global-map "<f1>")
    => help-command

but

  (keymap-lookup global-map "<signal>")
    => nil

Something like that, yes.  It's definitely not going to work :-(

Thanks, I removed this example from the manual, and I'm now closing
this bug.
