How to see which functions are executed

Question

When I do something inside Emacs, with the buffer *Messages* you get some idea what happened. But it's only if that function is echoing a message for the minibuffer. Then *Messages* keeps a record of messages that are echoed.

I remember there was a buffer where all commands were listed that are executed. But I cannot find it back in the Emacs documentation. It displayed also functions that are not echoing any message at all.

Do anyone know about which function I'm talking?

view-lossage will show the last few hundred keystrokes. There's also command-log-mode which records the keystrokes and the command it executed.

Thanks db48x, I was looking for `view-lossage` I think. Is there another list that keeps record of the latest evaluated commands (so without pressing the keys)? – ReneFroger Nov 29 '15 at 22:59
