make global key combinations also work in org mode
reddit / emacs

I use e.g. the following to not only define a global key mapping but
make it also work within org mode

​

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-n") 'switch-to-buffer)
    (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c C-n") 'switch-to-buffer)

is there an easier and shorter way to make this binding work in all
modes of emacs?  I know aobut \*bind-keys of John Wigley but thats a
workaround I want to avoid if possible

Global bindings are overridden by minor modes.  Make your own minor
mode for anything you want to take precedence over a major mode's
bindings.

can you give me advise on how to to that?

(define-minor-mode personal-bindings "My personal bindings"
      :init-value t
      :lighter nil
      :keymap (make-sparse-keymap))

    (define-key personal-bindings-map ...)
