C-h c C-h l
  => C-h l runs the command view-lossage

,----[ C-h f view-lossage RET ]
| view-lossage is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `help'.
| (view-lossage)
| 
| Display last 100 input keystrokes.
| 
| To record all your input on a file, use `open-dribble-file'.
`----


,----[ C-h f open-dribble-file RET ]
| open-dribble-file is an interactive built-in function.
| (open-dribble-file FILE)
| 
| Start writing all keyboard characters to a dribble file called FILE.
| If FILE is nil, close any open dribble file.
`----
