If it was hjkl, there would be viper-mode.


(defun* backward-line (&optional (x 1)) 
    (interactive)
    (forward-line (- x)))

(defun my-movement-keys (off)

Have a look at keyboard-translate

Delegating key actions

[Karan Bathla]

Hi

I would like to be able to use n,p,j,; as down,up,left,right respectively upon invocation of a function/minor-mode. Is there already some package that does something like this?
I want to delegate all keystrokes i.e. "C-n" and "M-n" would do "C-<down>" and "M-<down>" whatever function that keystroke corresponds to in the buffer. 

Thanks
Karan
