Thank you very much.

I think no key binding is needed. I think it will not be invoked frequently.
However, I think the commands should be listed in "C" pull-down menu.
C
...
[Style >] [Set Manually (c-set-style) ]
[Examine Current Buffer and Guess Style]
[Examine Current Buffer, Guess Style and Install It]
[Install Guessed Result (cc-guess-install)]
[View Guessed Result (cc-guess-view-guessed-style)]
or
C
...
[Set Style Manually (c-set-style) ]
[Examine Current Buffer and Guess Style]
[Examine Current Buffer, Guess Style and Install It]
[Install Guessed Style (cc-guess-install)]
[View Guessed Style (cc-guess-view-guessed-style)]
The fine controllable indentation engine of cc-mode is the one of the
greatest point of cc-mode. So I think "style" menu item should be in C pull-down
menu entry.
How do you think?
