In emacs are any key sequences available for user macro bindings in all modes

I have recently started using
org mode
in emacs, but my macro bound in my initialisation file to C-x C-k T
no longer works because this combination is used by outline mode
which underpins org mode
. I went by "Learning Gnu Emacs" by Debra Cameron et al. pub by O'Reilly, which states on page 160 that the sequences C-x C-k
with 0-9 and A-Z are reserved for user macro bindings. This itself is contradicted, I have just noticed, on page 193, where, in outline mode
, C-c C-k
is bound to Show -> Show branches
.
So, please, are there any key sequences that are available still, and will be in all circumstances?
I have left out the detail of my macro because it is irrelevant to this question.

I have left the original question as it is to explain my mistake. Thanks to @Gilles I realise that I made a silly mistake in confusing C-c
with C-x
. The problem manifested itself in that using .org
mode seemed to redefine my key bindings. This I have now resolved by using C-x
instead of C-c
. Macros bound to these still work in .org mode
As to the question of what key sequence bindings are available, see:
. This is part of an excellent and comprehensive set of articles on emacs by "Xah", available at: , and well worth the $15 he asks for them.
This is almost an answer rather than an extension to my question. I have put it here to retain my acceptance of @Gilles earlier answer, and as it is too long for a comment
