keyboard shortcuts in shell

Hi
There are a few keyboard shortcuts that I use while working in a shell.
For example : ctrl-x + shift-4 to expand a variable name.
ctrl-x + shift-8 to expand multiple filenames with asterisk.
I know that there's a command that lists all these special shortcuts.
I just don't remember what it is.
Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks

The command you are thinking of is bind which controls the key bindings for the readline library. Bind does not have it's own man page so try man bash and then search for "^ *bind ".
Looking at the key bindings on my machine, "\C-x$" (ctrl-x + shift-4) is bound to complete-variable and "\C-x*" (ctrl-x + shift-8) is bound to glob-expand-word.

thanks swivel-head
I found the command - "bindkey"
when I ran it, it gave me a list of all the key bindings
