By default, M-s a prefix key bound to search-map, containing commands like occur (M-s o) and isearch-forward-word (M-s w).
I thought I'd change my search-map prefix key to ESC M-s in order to use M-s for save-buffer (I'm on a Mac and I use ⌘ as my meta key).
I like the bind-key package, but I can't figure out how to bind a prefix key to a keymap with it. I naively tried:
(bind-keys ("M-s" . save-buffer)
("ESC M-s" . search-map))
but that doesn't work because bind-keys expects an alist whose values are commands, but search-map is a keymap.
I've resorted to doing it without any of bind-key's helper functions:
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-s") search-map)
I see bind-key has the ability to bind keys within a particular map, and to define a new prefix map, but I don't see a way to bind to an existing map. Maybe there is no way to do this using bind-key macros, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone knows otherwise.
I'm not totally convinced I want to move the search-map onto a less convenient prefix key just to get saving bound to ⌘S, but I'd like to try it out.
