To just find key bindings for a command, you can use emacs help’s “where-is” feature C-h w command-name If multiple bindings are set for the command they will all be listed.

When you start Emacs using an MS Windows shortcut, the default-directory is initially the folder (directory) specified in the “Start In” field … Read more
The function to show current file’s full path in mini buffer
