Some comments on the code:

The docstring is very technical - usually it
only describes what happens, leaving out most
implementation details. Usually, but
not always!

Also, the lines are very long so for some
people they won't fit on a screen. Break them
off and insert blank lines. Use \n if need be.

You know about `1+' and `1-' to add/subtract 1?

If the "5" is because (length "<nop>") is five,
it is better to compute that - data that is
derived from other data should be computed so
that, if other data change, so does data.

Indentation: add four spaces before the
first "(if".

You don't need a lambda here (and they need not
be quoted). You can put a # before the
function quote.

Using `local-set-key' is one way to do it,
I would however `require' the emacs-wiki,
and then use `define-key' with the mode map, as
in:

    (require 'erc)
    (define-key erc-mode-map "\C-\M-p" #'erc-previous-command)

Ask again if it didn't help!
