Try to set them first manually! After you've done that for the first key binding perform:

	C-x ESC ESC

This will bring back the key binding command in echo-area/mini-buffer. By typing

	C-a C-k C-g

you put the key binding command into the kill-buffer (to be yanked with C-y), quit the action in mini-buffer, and can return to your init file. Here just C-y and you have the working key binding command.

Repeat for the next key! Save your init file!
