<div>Sorry, (kbd &quot;DEL&quot;) doesn&#39;t work, should be (kbd &quot;&lt;backspace&gt;&quot;). I thought they were the same.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 3:19 PM, York Zhao &lt;<a href="mailto:gtdplatform@gmail.com">gtdplatform@gmail.com</a>&gt; wrote:</div>
<div>I finally got the &lt;backspace&gt; binded in ibuffer by &quot;forcing&quot; rebind like this:</div><div><br></div><div>(eval-after-load &#39;ibuffer</div><div>  &#39;(progn</div><div>     ;; use the standard ibuffer bindings as a base</div>

<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>I have this code to inherite most of the ibuffer key bindings while still keep the &quot;j&quot; and &quot;k&quot; bindings.</div><div><br></div><div>(eval-after-load &#39;ibuffer</div><div>

<div><br></div><div>The &lt;backspace&gt; key would then &quot;fixed&quot; to my binding (scroll-down) instead of the ibuffer binding. Is there any &quot;better&quot; way of rebinding evil keys? Or, is it possible for Evil to handle this situation?</div>
