I was just tidying up my .emacs to make things a little bit more modular
and mode specific. I changed a load og global-set-key calls to the
following so that after I loaded a c file, the other bufefrs werent
accessing these c specific key bindings:

  (define-key c-mode-map [f5] 'find-tag-noconfirm)
  (define-key c-mode-map [f6] 'find-tag-repeat)
  (define-key c-mode-map [f7] 'pop-tag-mark)

  (define-key c-mode-map [f2] 'gdb-restore-windows)
  (define-key c-mode-map [f10] 'compile)
  (define-key c-mode-map [(f11)] 'next-error)
  (define-key c-mode-map [(f12)] 'gdba)


Is there some kind of "with" statement or "Lisp approach" which would
make this more "Lisp"y? Something like an array of pairs and a loop to
call define key for this mode?

Something like

   for(all in arr)
           define-key c-mode-map @index @value

if you get my meaning. Am beginning so am looking for pointers in how to
approach things or "think" in order to best use Lisp.
