I am using the package here:

https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys

the author told me that he handles mode specific overwrites in that
file:

https://github.com/xahlee/xah-fly-keys/blob/master/xah-fly-keys-mode-specific.el

he used there much progn so I did the same, no special choice from me.

I did try it this way did not work too: I added your suggested blog to
this mode specific file mentioned above and evaluated it.


(progn
  (require 'gnus-group)
  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "c") 'previous-line) 
  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "t") 'next-line)
  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "h") 'backward-char)
  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "n") 'forward-char)
  )
