 command loop uses the keymap's default binding, if there is one.
 
+@findex keymap-unset

+This function is the inverse of @code{keymap-set}, it unsets the
+binding for @var{key} in @var{keymap}, which is the same as setting
+the binding to @code{nil}.  In order to instead remove the binding
+completely, specify @var{remove} as non-nil.  This only makes a
+difference if @var{keymap} has a parent keymap.  When unsetting a key
+in a child map, it will still shadow the same key in the parent
+keymap.  Removing the binding will allow the key in the parent keymap
+to be used.

 @cindex invalid prefix key error
 @cindex key sequence error
 Every prefix of @var{key} must be a prefix key (i.e., bound to a keymap)
