is there anything like "describe-key" (EMacs)in vim ?

The simplest might be the Vim help system.  For example:

 :h ^X

describes Ctrl-X.  You have to type "^X" as two characters, not one.

It is a good idea to get familiar with the help system in Vim (the same as with the Emacs help system for Emacs users). Try both:

 :h
 :h help

For commands and keybindings, Emacs has a ¹one-line help (corresponding to the first line of a starred doc-string -- if I remember well), ²the full doc-string (which is usually more succinct than the manual, yet in a few cases more complete than the manual, or even, very rarely, contradicting it :-), and the ³automatic display of the manual entry. Vim help mostly corresponds to this later one.
