In my particular case, there is just a binding to install this keymap.
This is done so that subsequent key presses use this keymap.

This is the gdb TUI "single key" mode, see
(info "(gdb) TUI Single Key Mode")

I think that seems reasonable.

I can take a look at it.  (BTW I have looked into the other addition I
emailed about; it is quite tricky and I will send a longer email soon
detailing the problems.)
