Undoubtedly, tables like Memnon's are useful, but if I had to do them
for every mode of interest (particularly the ones that I don't use
often), I'd be spending all of my time making them :-) and then (at
least BOE[fn:1]) spending even more time finding them again.
So I don't worry about frequently-used vs not-frequently-used modes: I
just go in e.g. to Info and then use ``C-h m'' to get the mode
keymap. Then use whatever key I need at the time. If I don't reuse it
soon, I forget it and I have to go through the same process again in the
future. If I use it often enough, the memory eventually migrates to my
fingers and I'm all set.
