Re: How to rebind keys "C-j" to join-line -- SOLVED!

[Alex Wei]

Hi all

 

I've figured out how to secure binding my keys :D , I found two hooks that will guarantee my key-bindings will not be overrided.

 

(defun my-key-binding ()
  "Customize my key bindings after Emacs startup."
  (interactive)
  ;; Key bindings                                                               
  (local-set-key (kbd "<RET>") 'newline-and-indent)
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-.") 'set-mark-command)
  (local-set-key (kbd "C--") 'kill-whole-line)
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-=") 'copy-whole-line)
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-o") 'open-newline)
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'join-line)
 )

 

(add-hook 'emacs-startup-hook 'my-key-binding)
(add-hook 'change-major-mode-hook 'my-key-binding)

Thanks anyway!

 

Best Regards

I see, (I, personally, count M+SHIFT as one key, pressed at the same time ;-)

Have you tried (global-set-key)?  Maybe local-set-key works only in
the *scratch* buffer at start-up?  Sorry I'm not sure.
