Yes, the structure of the key binding search must be mirrored in the
routine. But the problem I tried to solve was rather to find the keymap
variable names.

You do not have those names available anywhere really. You have to guess.

But combining the mirrored structure with the routine that guesses the
keymap variable name would be the best I think.
