I would like in Emacs a key sequence FOO to be an true alias for a sequence BAR. Whenever FOO is entered it should perform the same action as entering BAR does.
I cannot use something like:
(global-set-key (kbd "FOO") (key-binding (kbd "BAR")))
That binds FOO to the current action for BAR . If BAR will be later remapped or overwritten or hidden by a minor mode, that will not be reflected by FOO.
I tried to workaround that using:
(global-set-key (kbd "FOO")
(lambda ()
(interactive)
(key-binding (kbd "BAR")))
But that still is not a true alias. The interactive spec for the lambda is not the same as for the action that BAR is bound to. I suppose I can address that using (interactive (advice-eval-interactive ...))
, but it seems rater complex for something that sounds like a basic functionality.
So perhaps I missed some Emacs API for doing key aliasing?
