keybinding help

[Ryan Krauss]

I know this is a simple question, but I can't seem to find the answer.
 I want to bind a key to insert some text that I am retyping a lot.
How do I do that?  I would like to bind C-c l to insert that text
'\lstinline!'.

Thanks,

Ryan

  The following (not tested) should work :

(global-set-key "\C-cl" (lambda () (interactive) (insert "\\lstinline!")))

Maybe you want check out the section "key-board macros" from the emacs
manual.

I assume you want that in LaTeX-mode, right? Then put something like
that into your ~/.emacs.

I had read that section.  The thing that was keeping me from getting
what I wanted was the combination of keybindings with lambda functions
(which I didn't know existed in Lisp - or how to write them).

In the versions that I looked at, there was no simple example of
writing a key binding to insert text.

What you are calling a lambda function is actually an anonymous
function.  But strictly speaking, a Lisp function (anonymous or not) is
not necessary for this.

Assuming that all you need to do to insert "\lstinline!" is to type
those 10 characters literally, this is how you would define a keyboard
macro to do that:

C-x ( \lstinline! C-x )

Now `C-x e' will insert "\lstinline!".  You might next want to name that
macro and bind it to `C-c l':

M-x name-last-kbd-macro RET insert-lstinline RET
M-x global-set-key RET C-c l insert-lstinline RET

See the "Naming and Saving Keyboard Macros" section of the manual for
more details.  Or you could short circuit all of those commands and just
put this in your .emacs file:

(global-set-key "\C-cl" "\\lstinline!")

I know you asked for a keybinding, and you have got a couple of
suggestions on how to that, but I wanted to also suggest that you try
the `abbrevs' functionality in Emacs. It is more general and you might
get ideas on other uses for it.

A simple example for you you test when you are in the buffer where you
wanted this key binding:

M-x define-mode-abbrev RET 1st RET \1stinline! RET

That defines a mode-specific abbreviation `1st', which will expand to
your text.

Next, enable `abbrev-mode' (if, that is, it isn't already enabled):

M-x abbrev-mode RET

Now type 1st and then a space (or return, or some other non-word
character).

When you exit Emacs it will ask you if you want to save the abbrevs
you have created.
