Why doesn't it work for you? It binds a key in the global map. Did you expect a different result? > (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'join-line) You can delete this line. It's fine in a hook function, not stand-alone like this. To bind the key for a specific mode, use something like this: (add-hook 'foo-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'join-line)))
