One way is to define it as a macro: (global-set-key (kbd "M-7") "{")
or (local-set-key (kbd "M-7") "{") within an appropriate hook.

I think you mean major-mode keymap there, although minor-mode keymaps
are relevant as well.  For a precise explanation, see the and the Local
Keymaps node of the Emacs manual and the Searching [the Active] Keymaps
node of the Emacs Lisp manual.
