title: Avoiding overlapped keybindings in emacs?
body: <p>I have done some searching around and can not quite find what I am looking for so I figured I would ask.  This could be due to not using the right terms however.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to emacs, having used vim for eight years or so, but I really need an editor I can morph to my will so I am switching. Now in vim there is a leader key you can define to avoid overlapping bindings with various extensions. In emacs there are supposed to be chords set aside for the user only but various modes do not adhere to this. Is there a way in emacs I can ensure my custom bindings do not overlap similar to the vim leader key? The reason I ask is I want to keep my bindings sane.</p>
