Question

I'm trying to write a keybinding to comment current line which goes something like this for python.

(fset 'comment 
      (lambda (&optional arg)
    "Keyboard macro."
    (interactive "p")
    (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("^A^[f^[b#" 0 "%d")) arg)))

(global-set-key (kbd "C-x /") 'comment)

How can I use the same keybinding on multiple languages say python and cpp? Is there anyway to identify the filetype and execute the keybinding accordingly?

Was it helpful?

Solution

You can save the keybinding only to a specific keymap:

(eval-after-load "python-mode"
    '(define-key python-mode-map "\C-x/" 'comment))
