Each minor mode can have its own keymap, which is active when the mode
is enabled. To set up a keymap for a minor mode, add an element to the
alist minor-mode-map-alist. See section Active Keymaps.
One use of minor mode keymaps is to modify the behavior of certain
self-inserting characters so that they do something else as well as
self-insert. In general, this is the only way to do that, since the
facilities for customizing self-insert-command are limited to
special cases (designed for abbrevs and Auto Fill mode). (Do not try
substituting your own definition of self-insert-command for the
standard one. The editor command loop handles this function specially.)
The key sequences bound in a minor mode should consist of C-c followed by a punctuation character other than {, }, <, >, : or ;. (Those few punctuation characters are reserved for major modes.)
