Well, how would that work? In your code, it isn't even the same function, it is `scroll-down-command', then its `View-scroll-page-backward'... And even if it did, after evaluating it one wouldn't be able to write this very message! What you can do, is something like: (defun set-vertical-keys (map) "Set MAP keys for moving point vertically." (define-key map "i" #'previous-line) (define-key map "k" #'next-line) ) ; [1] and then, for example for the gnus-summary-mode, do (require 'gnus-sum) (set-vertical-keys gnus-summary-mode-map) Also, I'd recommend not doing this in hooks, unless you have to.
