The 2nd argument must be a command, which can be an interactive function or a keyboard macro, or a symbol with such a function binding -- see the "What is a Function?" and "Command [Loop] Overview" sections of the Emacs Lisp manual. The proper representation of the key sequence `C-c a C-c' as a keyboard macro is any of: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ; no spaces! [?\C-c ?@ ?\C-a] [(control ?c) ?@ (control ?a)] (kbd "C-c @ C-a") (see the "Init Rebinding" node of the Emacs manual and the "Changing Key Bindings" node of the Emacs Lisp manual) > Also, local-set-key only works on the current local keymap.
