Problem: Keymap not working...

Problem: Keymap not working...

[upro]

Hi!

IU am writing a small mode for my daily work, but the keymap is not
working. Can someone please tell me, why?

I am using emacs 21.3 (btw: How do I get the minibuffer output
[e. g. on M-x emacs.version] to point in the main buffer?).

This is my smal function:

(defvar musman-mode-map
  (let ((musman-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)))
;  (if musman-mode-map ()
;	(setq musman-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap))
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-ck" 'musman-Konzert)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-ct" 'musman-Termin)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-ca" 'musman-Anrufen)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c\C-g" 'musman-Angerufen)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c n" 'musman-Nächster)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c t" 'musman-Terminauswahl)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c v" 'musman-Vertrag)
    (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c z" 'musman-Zurückrufen)))

Thank you in advance!

Maybe there is a smarter way but this works. Use eval-expression with
an argument.  "eval-expression" is bound to "M-:". Thus 

M-3 M-: emacs-version RET

should work. At least it works in my emacs: "21.3.1".

You need to return the keymap from the let form, so that it is bound to
the variable.  Also, it's not a bug but it is a little confusing to use
the name of the global variable as the name of the local variable:

(defvar musman-mode-map
   (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
     (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-ck" 'musman-Konzert)
...
     (define-key musman-mode-map "\C-c z" 'musman-Zurückrufen)
     map))

Oops, that should be:

(defvar musman-mode-map
   (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
     (define-key map "\C-ck" 'musman-Konzert)
...
     (define-key map "\C-c z" 'musman-Zur?ckrufen)
     map))

Why the "3" prefix-arg?

Thanks,
