If someone is not clear it should be improved.

I have no idea why you’re modifying clojure-mode’s keymap when you should be modifying cider-mode’s keymap instead (+ set-ns is bound to a keycombo by default). Consulting the Changelog would reveal that `nrepl-mode` is now named `cider-repl-mode` and `nrepl-interaction-mode` is now `cider-mode` (it’s basically the same in SLIME). The migration is really simple and I think that people are blowing this problem out of proportion. Of course, I basically live in Emacs, so this is obviously affecting my POV.
