If I know an emacs command name, says, "goto-line"; what if I want to query whether if there are any key-sequences bound to this command ?
And vice versa, given a key sequence, how can I find its command name ?

A:
You can get help for a command by typing
C-h f function-name
This will usually tell you if it has a standard key binding. Conversely, given a key sequence, you can type
C-h k key-sequence
To get the command that would run. For more help on getting help, you can type
C-h ?

You can also do `C-h w <function name>` to know just where the key is, not the full documentation. Conversely, you can also do `C-h c <key sequence>` to just know what function is bound to a key sequence.

also: C-h w is typically bound to where-is.

So, I can where-is where-is when I forget C-h w. That's great ! ;)
