Paul, As it suggests in the manual, most local modes have named keymaps: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Local-Keymaps.html As does the mew mode for sending messages that i am using. Unfortunately, I cannot find a function on my emacs for displaying the name of the local key...

@gugamilare.

I don't want to set a global key. I only want my functions to be part of the local mode map for mew (my mailing program). As I just shared above I found out how to do it. However, I am still clueless where to find the name of a given mode's keymap

I have figured out how to set a local mode's keybinding using a hook while not knowing the keymaps name **see: http://www.io.com/~jimm/emacs_tips.html It still bugs me though, not being able to easily access something so fundamental :? (setq mew-summary-mode-hook '(lambda () (local-set-key "\C-...

I am unable to set key-bindings for a local mode (mew - mail program), b/c i do not know the name of the mode's keymap. I have tried looking at the 'current-local-map' variable, but just see the whole keymap in the minibuffer. Also looked at functions: current-active-maps, accessible-keymaps , but t...

Great, thanks for the advice! made the changes and works fine. here's the code now in my .mew.el file in case anyone wants to use it for themselves: ;; Optional setup (Read Mail menu for Emacs 21): (if (boundp 'read-mail-command) (setq read-mail-command 'mew)) ;; Optional setup (e.g. C-xm for sendin...

I am using the mew email reader in emacs. The reader accesses your pop accounts based on lisp variables you set in its configuration file. I am trying to write an interactive function which will set these variables based on user input (e.g. type 'y' for yahoo account, 'm' for msn, etc...) When I run...

I am toying around creating a simple exercise database using emacs forms mode. My control file looks something like this: (setq forms-file "datafile") (setq forms-number-of-fields 6) (setq forms-format-list (list "----Exercise Database----\n\n" "exercise : " 1 "\n\...

Yes, those are some needed changes, but the function still does not work. If for example I type:

(buf-exists *scratch*)

and try to evaluate, I get the error (void-variable *scratch*)

I am working through the FSF text: An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp. I am having some trouble with the following buffer exercise: Use if and get-buffer to write a function that prints a message telling you whether a buffer exists. Here is the program I wrote: (defun buf-exists (bufpos) &...
