Hi all. I am using tabspaces: [https://github.com/mclear-
tools/tabspaces](https://github.com/mclear-tools/tabspaces)

I tried to set a custom shortcut for the command `tabspaces-switch-to-
buffer`.

I have this:

    (global-set-key (kbd "M-b") 'tabspaces-switch-to-buffer)

and got the error: wrong type argument, commandp.  This is weird
because I bind the `tab-next`

and `tab-previous` in exactly the same fashion.

​

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-<left>") 'tab-previous)
    (global-set-key (kbd "C-<right>") 'tab-next)

So I am not sure why it gives the error. The command when run via
`M-x` works fine.

Maybe the package is not correctly loaded?
After you've run it once with **M-x**, does **M-b** still say "wrong
type argument, commandp"?

You are right.  Silly me, the package was not loaded correctly.  After
running with M-x, the shortcut works.  Thanks.
