C-c is a prefix key. As with all prefix keys, if you follow with C-h (h for help), a list of key bindings in that prefix map is displayed. This is automatic and is one of the self-documenting features of Emacs. If you bind C-c C-h to a different command, the user looses helpful display. Try, for example C-x C-h or C-c C-x C-h to see what I mean. I hardly use this, but I do use it to remind myself of rarely used rectangle commands: C-x r C-h Cheers - Carsten
