Have a look at evil-maps.el. For the specific problem you need: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (evil-ex-define-cmd "A" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) ;; or (evil-ex-define-cmd "alternate" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) (evil-ex-define-cmd "A" "alternate") #+end_src Michael

Hi: Frank and List:

I have this snipped of code in my .emacs and I want to use :A instead of \c-ct for eassist-switch-h-cpp.

(require 'eassist) (defun c-mode-cedet-hook () (local-set-key "." 'semantic-complete-self-insert) (local-set-key ">" 'semantic-complete-self-insert) (local-set-key "\C-ct" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) ;; switch between corresponding h and cpp files (local-set-key "\C-xt" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) (local-set-key "\C-ce" 'eassist-list-methods) (local-set-key "\C-c\C-r" 'semantic-symref) ) (add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'c-mode-cedet-hook)

I added (local-set-key ":A" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) to the .emacs but it doesn't work..

Well, ex-mode is something special. The ":" key calls an evil-function `evil-ex-read-command' and the rest is done within a minibuffer. You can use (evil-define-ex-cmd "A" 'eassist-switch-h-cpp) to define a new ex-command (see "evil-maps.el" for all other bindings). But note that currently evil has only the global namespace for ex-commands. Of course there should be a buffer-local solution or something equivalent to `evil-declare-key' for ex commands, but this is still on the TODO list. Frank PS: If you need local ex-commands, file a request in the bug-tracker, otherwise it remains on my list as low-priority ;) PPS: Of course, this holds for *all* feature request. Mails on the list are easily forgotten ...
