Sometimes, there are packages such as prettier that expose commands that one would like to bind to multiple modes in their mode hooks. In which case the mode map will likely be dynamically constructed from the mode symbol, and one would like to bind keys like the following:
The problem is, bind-key currently does not support KEYMAP supplied as a symbol, and if it is supplied as a (symbol-value (derived-mode-map-name mode)), there's no way to reverse lookup the name of the variable from the symbol value later on when constructing the buffer for describe-personal-bindings, hence #845 .
This PR proposes a fix to this problem by supporting KEYMAP as symbols, while preserving backward compatibility.
