Own key bindings

Own key bindings

[Cecil Westerhof]

I am still learning to cope with GNUS. I stumbled on something about
defining your own key bindings. If I remember well the idea is that you
use 'v' for your own key bindings. But I can not find it anymore. Where
is this described?

It's Gnus -- GNUS is its predecessor.

,----[ (info "(gnus)Misc Group Stuff") ]
| `v'
|      The key `v' is reserved for users.  You can bind it to some
|      command or better use it as a prefix key.  For example:
| 
|           (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "v j d")
|             (lambda ()
|               (interactive)
|               (gnus-group-jump-to-group "nndraft:drafts")))
| 
|      On keys reserved for users in Emacs and on keybindings in general
|      *Note Keymaps: (emacs)Keymaps.

BTW: I've found that entry in 10 seconds like this.

     C-h i             ;; open info
     m gnus RET        ;; visit the Gnus docs
     C-s `v' C-s C-s   ;; Search for `v', repeat 2 times

Bye,

Or do an index search: "reserved keys" -> `i reserved', `,', `,'
... will find these:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Index") ]
| * keys, reserved for users (Article):    Article Keymap.      (line  12)
| * keys, reserved for users (Group):      Misc Group Stuff.    (line  15)
| * keys, reserved for users (Server):     Server Commands.     (line   7)
| * keys, reserved for users (Summary):    Summary Buffer.      (line  18)
`----

Bye, Reiner.

I'll keep it in mind.

Thanks. In my version (Gnus v5.11) 'v' is not found, but I should try
info more often as Google.

The first key binding I defined is:
    (define-key gnus-group-mode-map (kbd "v f")
      (lambda ()
        (interactive)
        (beginning-of-buffer)
        (gnus-group-next-unread-group 1)))

So with 'v f' I go to the first unread group.

It's not found, because it's `v', not 'v' (backquote, not quote).
