  • The reason it doesn't work is because you don't have a symbol. You have a cons cell containing a quote and the symbol.

    I'd just leave out the length 1 check too. If you have (quote fred barney), you're already pretty crazy. :)

  • Emacs has a syntax for interpolation which you might find easier. Instead of:

    (list 'global-set-key key
        (append '(lambda () "~keyfunction~"
         (interactive)) body)))

    You might prefer

    `(global-set-key key
        ,@(append '(lambda () "~keyfunction~"
         (interactive)) body)))

    Basically, backquote starts a list you can interpolate into; comma interpolates a single item; comma + at-sign splices in a list at that point. As usual, more info in BackquoteSyntax [emacswiki.org]
