1. Find the name of the mode: `C-h v major-mode'. Example: `foo-mode'.
2. The mode's keymap is probably the same, with `-map' appended. Example:
`foo-mode-map'.
3. Define or redefine each of the keys you want in that map, using function
`define-key'. Example: (define-key foo-mode-map "\C-a" 'my-cmd)
To see the key bindings for a mode, use `C-h b'.
To better see the key bindings in a particular keymap, use `describe-keymap',
avaiable in library `help-fns+.el':
