@Hashim *ded is an abbreviation for the full function name *-delete-empty-directories. Many completion engines (such as ivy, the one I use) understand this kind of fuzzy matching. As for keeping them memorized… I simply don't have to. The functions I've defined all start with * so I can easily find them if they're not bound to a key. Otherwise, emacs itself will tell me if there was a faster way of calling the function. If all else fails, there's always apropos.

Does M-x *ded RET have any significance or is it random? If the latter, how do you keep track of all the shortcuts you've assigned in emacs? Does memorisation suffice or do you find yourself having to look them up?

@Hashim The idea is that you have it defined in your init and then bound to a key. Technically I could have it bound to D if I wanted to, but since I don't have a common need for this, all I have to type is M-x *ded RET and bam–done. (If I did indeed have to type this every time, you're absolutely right that it'd be absurd – luckily that's not the case.)
