An easy way to accomplish what you want is using snippet.el (http://www.kazmier.com/computer/snippet.el). You just need to put it in your load path, and then: (defun factor-semicolon-command () (interactive) (if (bolp) (snippet-insert ": $${word} ( $${in} -- $${out} ) $. ;") (insert ";\n\n"))) IIRC, this already implements your proposal, and there's many variations you can play with that. For instance, snippets can work with abbrev-mode, and you can trigger them automatically---i would, for instance, link the word snippet to ";;", instead of modifiying the binding for `;' in the mode keymap; but that's just me. Would that work for you?
