Re: Looking up and CALLING a key binding

[TheLonelyStar <nabble2@lonely-star.org>]

Hi,

I need this for the following two things:

1. I want to bind a key (the tab key) to a special function which can fail.
If the function fails, I want to call the original  binding of the key
(which is differerent depending on which mode I am in).

2. I want to bind a key to the insertion of a little code snippet.
i.E. { -> to
{
  |
}
But since in many modes the "{" and "}" keys are bound to some special
function, I want to call these keybindings for the insertions of the "{" and
"}".
