Re: [STUMP] define run-or-raise keybinding with anonymous function

[Tamas Papp]

I found a workaround:

(define-key *root-map* (kbd "c")
  "eval-line (run-or-raise \"calibre\" '(:title \"calibre\"))")

I can of course write a macro for all of this:

(defmacro define-key-run-or-raise (map key command
                                   &optional (props `(:title ,command)))
  `(define-key ,map (kbd ,key)
     ,(with-output-to-string (str)
        (princ "eval-line " str)
        (write `(run-or-raise ,command ',props) :stream str))))

and apply it as

(define-key-run-or-raise *root-map* "c" "calibre")
(define-key-run-or-raise *root-map* "b" "iceweasel" (:title "Iceweasel"))

but this is as unlispy as it gets so please help me find a more elegant
and idiomatic solution if there is one.

Best,

Tamas
