I just installed helm in Emacs.

It works fine, but I want to change some key bindings.

For example, Go to precedent level inside find-file is binding with C-l. I want to rebind it with C-w.

I can't call describe-key because it is inside mini buffer. How do I know which function is called when a specified key is hit with helm-mode?

Use describe keymap and look at ones starting with helm. Look at helm- prefixed function. What you want to do is

(define-key helm-find-files-map (kbd "<backspace>") 'helm-find-files-up-one-level)

Just replace with the key sequence you want.

  • What do you mean with `describe keymap`? I don't find the command. How can I use it? – ironsand Oct 02 '14 at 10:58
  • Sorry, you're right this is an add-on : install help-fns+ to obtain this "describe-keymap" command.Otherwise, you can still describe-variable and select helm-find-files-map but this will not be pretty (unconvenient). – sltbmnq Oct 22 '14 at 12:05
