As I told: "Don't offer a CUA mode, I know about it, but it doesn't meet 
my needs."

I've read conventions, but did not find any answer to my questions. The 
only thing that may be close to it is about "Sequences consisting 
ofC-cfollowed by...", but it is irrelevant because 1) My "C-c" is not 
followed by anything, 2) I don't make any plugin for other users, I just 
try to set Emacs _for myself_. All the World uses Ctrl + c for copy, so 
the whole world would not sag under one program.

Anyway, my question here is why the key bindings in my minor mode don't 
work. Is there some syntax mistake? Lets' for example change them to others:

(define-minor-mode ttkeys-mode "Normal key bindings"
:init-value 1 :lighter " TT" :global 1
:keymap
'(
("a" . #'kill-ring-save)
)
)

Well, this variant doesn't work either. I get the message: "Wrong type 
argument: commandp, #'kill-ring-save"
