How to re-bind C-,?

How to re-bind C-,?

[Grant Rettke]

Good afternoon,

╭────
│ (print emacs-version)
│ (print org-version)
╰────

╭────
│ "24.3.1"
│
│ "8.2.7c"
╰────

My goal was to set a new keybinding for two keys like this:

╭────
│ (local-set-key (kbd "C-,") (lambda () (interactive) (insert " \\larr ")))
│ (local-set-key (kbd "C-.") (lambda () (interactive) (insert " \\rarr ")))
╰────

The second works fine. The first does not; it stays bound to
`org-cycle-agenda-files' instead. Trying to remove it first and the bind
it I did:

╭────
│ (local-unset-key (kbd "C-,"))
│ (local-set-key (kbd "C-,") (lambda () (interactive) (insert " \\larr ")))
╰────

With no effect. That got me wondering if the binding occurred to
`org-cycle-agenda-files' /after/ mine. I don't think it that is possible
or likely because I do not customize agenda at all either via the UI or
Lisp.

Not sure if I am facing a Lisp thing or where to start.

What do you folks think I ought to do here?

Kind regards,

For me `org-cycle-agenda-files' is bound to C-', not C-, maybe you 
have something that sets C-' to C-, globally? 

Best,

Definitely, here in my .emacs.el:

╭────
│ (global-set-key (kbd "C-;") 'vc-next-action)
│ (global-set-key (kbd "C-'") 'er/expand-region)
╰────

I /thought/ that was *OK*. Later in the `org-mode-hook' function I call:

╭────
│ (local-set-key (kbd "C-,") (lambda () (interactive) (insert " \\larr ")))
│ (local-set-key (kbd "C-.") (lambda () (interactive) (insert " \\rarr ")))
╰────

The help documentation for `org-cycle-agenda-files' says:

      C-, runs the command org-cycle-agenda-files, which is an
      interactive autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `org.el'.

      It is bound to C-', C-,, <menu-bar> <Org> <File List for
      Agenda> <Cycle through agenda files>.

What I am stumped on is:
• What did I do wrong?
• How do I fix it?

That is very strange. It is that the line in your .emacs for C-'? 
Outside of org files, does C-, work as expected, or does it expand 
the region?

I mean the only line in your .emacs for C-'

Yes it is the only time it is globally bound.

How about this?
(define-key org-mode-map [(control ?,)] 'your-lambda-expression)

That works as expected.

Thank very much Jorge and Teika.

Bit of a mystery why that local-set-key didn't work; and I'm OK with
it remaining so :).
