Right, we could use "kbd" or perhaps "key".  Whichever we choose, I
would strongly prefer having one shared prefix for all of these
functions.

This simple change reduces cognitive load by quite a bit IMO, as I
just need to remember to type "kbd-" to get the company completion
popup that shows the full names.

Maybe:

kbd-define
kbd-define-map

Or, if we use "key" as the prefix:

key-define
key-define-map
