how to set a key in an article.

how to set a key in an article.

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

When reading an article (mail/news) describe-mode

Tells me that I am in article-mode.

I want to bind the function icalendar-extract-buffer to some
key.

I tried 
 (add-hook 'gnus-article-mode-hook 'my-article-keys)
 (defun my-article-keys ()
 (interactive)
   (local-set-key "C-\\" 'icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer))

Or 
  (local-set-key [(control c) i]  'icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer)


But it does not work. What shall I do?

"\C-ci" worked, thanks. 

That is really strange because I thought (local-set-key
[(control c) i] 'icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer) is the
most general, inoperable form for key binding concerning
Xemacs and GNU emacs. And it worked in all other setting, 
summary keys, group keys etc.

Anyway.

Thanks

Use "\C-\\" , [(control ?\\)] , [(control \\)] or (kbd "C-\\") .

Use "\C-ci" , [(control ?c) ?i] , [(control c) ?i] or (kbd "C-c i") .

You can verify what keystrokes those expressions mean by evaluating:

(key-description [(control ?c) ?i])
 => "C-c i"

Note that `gnus-article-mode-hook' is run only when the article
buffer is created.  So, you may want to kill the article buffer
manually in advance to check if the hook functions work.
