Modes can redefine bindings locally.
The EmacsManual says that the combination of C-c followed by a plain
letter, and the function keys f5 through f9 are reserved for users. That
means that you can expect that no other mode ever uses these.
So if you don't want your bindings to be clobbered or shadowed, you need
to choose one of those keys. (Now of course, f28 is probably not used
by modes, if you map it on your keyboard).
But you still can bind any key you want, just be prepared to have them
shadowed. Since you can always access any command thru M-x, you can
also write your own command to reset your binding.
For example, I have:
(defun reset-movement-keypad ()
"Locally set the keys <insert>, <suppr>, <home>, <end>, <prior> and <next>."
(interactive)
(local-set-key (kbd "<home>") 'beginning-of-buffer)
(local-set-key (kbd "<end>") 'end-of-buffer)
(local-set-key (kbd "<prior>") 'scroll-down)
(local-set-key (kbd "<next>") 'scroll-up)
(global-set-key (kbd "<home>") 'beginning-of-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "<end>") 'end-of-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "<prior>") 'scroll-down)
(global-set-key (kbd "<next>") 'scroll-up))
and when I enter a mode that changes the behavior of <home>, I just have
to M-x reset-movement-keypad RET to revert to my setting, and to add
reset-movement-keypad to the hook of that mode.
