I can use C-h c
(describe-key-briefly
) and type a key combination and it will return me the function bound to it. But I'd also like to type only a prefix of a key combination and have it list and describe all functions bound to key sequences starting with it, like "all bound keys starting with C-x
".

A:
Do the key combo then C-h. For your example of C-x, do C-x C-h. This also works with sub-maps, e.g. C-x r C-h to see everything under C-x r

Awesome, I never knew this. Not at all obvious, though. Almost nothing in emacs is obvious.

Yeah, the section of the manual that describes this in detail is not very obvious. Reading, what a waste of time!
