Alternative to left arrow key in Winner mode

Alternative to left arrow key in Winner mode

[Shakthi Kannan]

Hi,

I use no-easy-keys.el, and hence the arrow keys are disabled.

By default, in winner mode, to switch to the previous configuration
the command is "C-c <left-arrow>".

Is there a way to change winner-mode to use a different key rather
than the <left-arrow> key?

Please let me know,

Thanks!

SK

I don't use winner.el, but this should get you started:

(define-key winner-mode-map (kbd "<f5>") 'winner-undo)

Substitute whatever key sequence you want for "<f5>".

See the Emacs manual, node `Init Rebinding'.

Exactly (but bear in mind that you cannot do this before loading
winner.el, so you might want to wrap it inside `with-eval-after-load').

If you want to avoid the default bindings being established,

  (setq winner-dont-bind-my-keys t)

in addition.

If you don't care too much (I don't),

  (global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'winner-undo)

is absolutely fine if you have turned on winner-mode all the time
anyway.  You don't need `with-eval-after-load' in this case.

This works. Thanks!
