Hi Carsten,
while dealing with the key/command-name issue,
thanks for the last hint BTW, works now,
stumble over
C-u C-u C-u <TAB>
Don't it break common Emacs usage somehow?
No, it is customary that C-u changes the behavior as a function.
Admittedly Org does this more extensively than other programs.
The problem arises, as C-h k does not report a
combination starting with C-u...
Yes, for your command name listing this is a problem.
Two cases
1. Using prefix arguments actually internally calls a different command.
Then one can try to find this command, and if it can be called in a
stand-alone way, it would actually be useful to give this indirect
command
in the list
2. The prefix argument just modified the command a bit - here I think
we have no choice but to repeat the command name as it was given
for the
un-prefixed call. Normally one would in fact describe the effect
of the
prefix arg in the description of the un-prefixed command. But
sometimes
I have found it useful to list the prefixed call explicitly.

Just for consideration.
