In other words, +@var{olddef} is replaced with @var{newdef} wherever it appears. The +function returns @code{nil}. Use @code{keymap-substitute} instead. +@end defun + +@defun define-key-after map key binding &optional after +Define a binding in @var{map} for @var{key}, with value @var{binding}, +just like @code{define-key}, but position the binding in @var{map} after +the binding for the event @var{after}. The argument @var{key} should be +of length one---a vector or string with just one element. But +@var{after} should be a single event type---a symbol or a character, not +a sequence. The new binding goes after the binding for @var{after}. If +@var{after} is @code{t} or is omitted, then the new binding goes last, at +the end of the keymap. However, new bindings are added before any +inherited keymap. Use @code{keymap-set-after} instead of this function. +@end defun + +@defun keyboard-translate from to +This function modifies @code{keyboard-translate-table} to translate +character code @var{from} into character code @var{to}. It creates +the keyboard translate table if necessary. Use @code{key-translate} +instead. +@end defun + +@defun key-binding key &optional accept-defaults no-remap position +This function returns the binding for @var{key} according to the +current active keymaps. The result is @code{nil} if @var{key} is +undefined in the keymaps. The argument @var{accept-defaults} controls +checking for default bindings, as in @code{lookup-key} +(@pxref{Functions for Key Lookup}). If @var{no-remap} is +non-@code{nil}, @code{key-binding} ignores command remappings +(@pxref{Remapping Commands}) and returns the binding directly +specified for @var{key}. The optional argument @var{position} should +be either a buffer position or an event position like the value of +@code{event-start}; it tells the function to consult the maps +determined based on that @var{position}. + +Emacs signals an error if @var{key} is not a string or a vector. + +Use @code{keymap-lookup} instead of this function. +@end defun + +@defun lookup-key keymap key &optional accept-defaults +This function returns the definition of @var{key} in @var{keymap}. If +the string or vector @var{key} is not a valid key sequence according +to the prefix keys specified in @var{keymap}, it must be too long and +have extra events at the end that do not fit into a single key +sequence. Then the value is a number, the number of events at the +front of @var{key} that compose a complete key. + +If @var{accept-defaults} is non-@code{nil}, then @code{lookup-key} +considers default bindings as well as bindings for the specific events +in @var{key}. Otherwise, @code{lookup-key} reports only bindings for +the specific sequence @var{key}, ignoring default bindings except when +you explicitly ask about them. + +Use @code{keymap-lookup} instead of this function. +@end defun + +@defun local-key-binding key &optional accept-defaults +This function returns the binding for @var{key} in the current +local keymap, or @code{nil} if it is undefined there. + +The argument @var{accept-defaults} controls checking for default bindings, +as in @code{lookup-key} (above). +@end defun + +@defun global-key-binding key &optional accept-defaults +This function returns the binding for command @var{key} in the +current global keymap, or @code{nil} if it is undefined there. +The argument @var{accept-defaults} controls checking for default bindings, +as in @code{lookup-key} (above). +@end defun @node Remapping Commands @section Remapping Commands
