Re: .emacs keybindings in gnus

Re: .emacs keybindings in gnus

[imputerate]

briefly, the answer is to omit the word gnus- from the code placed
in .gnus.el

in my .gnus.el file, i changed a line
from:
(add-hook 'gnus-message-mode-hook line
to:
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook

so now the section of my .gnus.el file which forces gnus to accept key
bindings from my .emacs file is:

(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "\ei") 'previous-line)))
(add-hook 'gnus-summary-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "\en") 'next-line)))

;; instead of 'gnus-message-mode-
hook                                                    \
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "\en") 'next-line)))
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "\e;") 'end-of-line)))

i left the summary-mode lines as is, since they work, and as they say,
"if it works..."

similarly;
(add-hook 'gnus-group-mode-hook 'gnus-topic-mode)
;;instead of 'gnus-message-mode-
hook
(add-hook 'message-mode-hook 'paragraph-indent-minor-mode)

the lesson to be taken from all this is that the "'gnus" should be
omitted when one is configuring the .gnus.el file;

now how about getting customized key bindings to work in X, and X
apps, like browsers?

Lest you take this as a general rule, message-mode is at least
theoretically separate from Gnus proper; there's a separate Info manual
for it, for example, and its various names start with message- (but not
gnus-message-).  The summary mode configuration, on the other hand, *is*
an integral part of Gnus, and gnus-summary-mode-* is correct where a
bare summary-* won't work.

I've never had trouble making keybindings work in X vs. not, though I
seem to use a different syntax.  My .emacs has:

There's no way to make Emacs customizations work for applications that
aren't Emacs, sorry.
