Q: What conventions are there for Emacs' designation of key bindings?

Although Emacs' key bindings are notoriously long, they aren't all chosen randomly. In general, they are designated according to three rules:

1. C-x reserved for Emacs native essential keybindings.
2. C-c reserved for users. Specifically, C-c letter allocated for minor modes, C-c C-letter allocated for major modes.
3. Don't bind C-h following any prefix character (including C-c).
