I have this macro at the top of my ~/.emacs so that I don't have to
think about this mess anymore:
(defmacro global-defkey (key def)
"*Bind KEY globally to DEF.
KEY should be a string constant in the format used for
saving keyboard macros (cf. `insert-kbd-macro')."
`(global-set-key (kbd ,key) ,def))
Use it as in:
(global-defkey "C-M-<backspace>" 'backward-kill-sexp)
