I discovered that
C-h m describe-mode and thus also
C-h b describe-bindings
are several times more helpful, if sorted by the last field, not the first.
E.g., for
$ emacs file.html #then C-h m and save to a file and pipe it to
grep --perl-regexp \\t | expand | sort -k 1.16 #giving:
C-c C-a sgml-attributes
C-c / sgml-close-tag
C-c C-e sgml-close-tag
C-c ] sgml-close-tag
C-c C-d sgml-delete-tag
C-c DEL sgml-delete-tag
C-c C-n sgml-name-char
C-c <left> sgml-skip-tag-backward
C-c C-b sgml-skip-tag-backward
C-c <right> sgml-skip-tag-forward
C-c C-f sgml-skip-tag-forward
/ sgml-slash
C-c C-o sgml-tag
C-c C-t sgml-tag
C-c ? sgml-tag-help
Allowing the user to suddenly see all the alternate bindings in a glance.
Therefore I propose C-h b and C-h m start listing them that way, or at least offer an option to do so. Thanks.
Wait, hold on. Let's examine the default sort order.
...
C-c <left> sgml-skip-tag-backward
C-c <right> sgml-skip-tag-forward
C-M-i ispell-complete-word
M-o M-o font-lock-fontify-block
C-c C-c # html-id-anchor
C-c C-c - html-horizontal-rule
C-c C-c c html-checkboxes
...
We see that there is no default sort order.
It's all just glued together as processing proceeded.
Even more reason to use my brilliant proposed order.
