Re: how to add button to emacs that play a elisp code

[Gian Uberto Lauri]

My apologies for breaking the threading, I lost the original message I
am replying to.

In Emacs you can have global keybindings (that are active no matter
what is the current buffer) and local ones (active only in the buffers
they are defined for).

The functions to use are

(global-set-key [(super meta i)] 
                '(lambda () 
                   (interactive)
                   (ispell-change-dictionary "italian")))

(this example changes the ispell dictionary to Italian and is bound to
super meta i)

the other function is

(local-set-key [?\s-w] 'jde-complete)

This is another syntax to use the "super" modifier.

At this time the 'standard' us(altgr-intl) X11 keyboard layout only
gives me Super, but I plan to hack that to have hyper back.

Despite not this standard, these modifiers from the space cadet
keyboard give you plenty of quick-to-access keystroke that do not need
a prefix you can use for your own customization.
