I'm trying to use just a few functions from paredit, without loading all the keybindings. Looking at paredit.el, the only keymap I found was paredit-mode-map, so I tried this. (setq paredit-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (define-key paredit-mode-map (kbd "<C-M-left>") 'paredit-backward) It didn't change the keybinding (As checked with C-h k), but the variable paredit-mode-map was changed. I also tried (eval-after-load "paredit" '(progn (setq paredit-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (define-key paredit-mode-map (kbd "<C-M-left>") 'paredit-backward))) and then turning paredit on and off, with the same result. Previously, making changes to a keymap directly has always worked for me. What is going on here? Edit: I succeeded in changing the keymap by doing this: ; Remove old paredit bindings (defun take-from-list (condp list) "Returns elements in list satisfying condp" (delq nil (mapcar (lambda (x) (and (funcall condp x) x)) list))) (setq minor-mode-map-alist (take-from-list (lambda (x) (not (eq (car x) 'paredit-mode))) minor-mode-map-alist)) ; Create new paredit-mode-map (setq paredit-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)) (define-key paredit-mode-map (kbd "<C-kp-enter>") 'paredit-backward) ; Add the new paredit-mode-map to minor-mode-map-alist (setq minor-mode-map-alist (append (list (append (list 'paredit-mode) paredit-mode-map)) minor-mode-map-alist)) So it seems minor-mode-map-alist is a the variable used for lookup. I'm sure there are more elegant ways to change the keybindings, but I wanted to understand more of how keybindings work in emacs.
