You can get all existing keys for existing posts, but I wouldn't suggest querying for all posts- you'll eventually run out of memory if you add lots of posts. | |

Nope I'm wrong, can't because global $wp_meta_boxes is only accessible from certain places :(

I think I've figured it out... by getting all registered meta_boxes. I'll post back if that's it

get_post_meta() is for getting the meta value knowing the meta _key. I want to get all meta_keys assigned to a post type, without knowing anything but the post type
