I have a key sequence for C-u C-c . How would I find the function that's bound to it. I thought it was describe-key but that doesn't seem to work.
Cheers

It is `describe-key` that is bound to `C-h k`. Just type `C-h k C-c .`. `C-u` is the `universal argument`, a prefix. – adl Feb 16 '19 at 01:03

Trying to figure out how to get the org-mode-timestamp without hitting C-u C-c . – Justin Thomas Feb 16 '19 at 01:04

You should not use `C-u` in a binding. – adl Feb 16 '19 at 01:05

This looks like a near duplicate. – Drew Feb 16 '19 at 01:28

describe-key is bound to C-h k.
If you want to know the function bound to C-u C-c .,
you should consider that C-u is a prefix to C-c .
and use just C-h k C-c ..
In this case, C-h k C-c . tells you that C-c . runs the command org-time-stamp and it also tells you what it does when called with a prefix argument:
If the user specifies a time like HH:MM or if this command is called with at least one prefix argument, the time stamp contains the date and the time. Otherwise, only the date is included.
