Hello Everyone,

I'd like to bind the ``' key to `Info-scroll-down` in Info mode only
so that I can comfortably read with my left hand as I do with my
right.  I don't want to use (add-hook … '(global-set-key)) because
that would set the key in all of my other buffers.

How would I go about doing this?

(define-key Info-mode-map "`" 'Info-scroll-down)

No need to use any hook. This is the case for most modes: they have their own
map; you can define keys directly in their maps.

If you don't want the binding to be global, then don't use
"global-set-key" but "local-set-key" instead.
I hope it sounds obvious enough,
