Stepan,

Thanks for your help -- The keyboard shortcut is now being mapped
correctly, but
whenever I press <f6> a, I get "Symbol's value as a variable is void:
shortcut-def"

I suspect that (lambda()) is not evaluating (org-id-goto (third
shortcut-def)).  I need some way to do that.

I would really like to know an "acceptable" or "standard" way to
implement this feature -- I think it would help me a lot with learning
Lisp & functional languages.  Any help is appreciated!

Here's my new code:

#+tblname:navigation-shortcuts
| Vim                 | <f6> a   | 733BD03F-0938-432F-B59A-BE235A2DE7E2 |

#+srcname: map-nav(navigation-shortcuts=navigation-shortcuts)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun map-navigation-shortcuts (shortcut-def)
    (global-set-key (read-kbd-macro (second shortcut-def))
      (lambda ()
        (interactive)
        (org-id-goto (third shortcut-def)))) ;; this line is not
evaluated inside lambda()
)

Thanks,
--Nate
