Re: How to bind a key locally to a buffer (not mode!)

As mentioned, you can use a minor mode for that (and only enable it in
the current buffer).  If you want this binding to have lower precedence
than the minor mode, you can use something like:

    (use-local-map (make-composed-keymap nil (current-local-map)))
    (local-set-key ...)

Where the first line changes the local map in the current buffer to use
a fresh new keymap which inherits from the previous one (the previous
one is assumed to be the one set by the major mode).
