I don't know under what conditions you want to restore a previous
mapping, but if you set any filetype-specific mappings with the
<buffer> option (see ":help map-<buffer>"), then they will apply
only to the buffer in which they were defined. Other buffers, or
any new buffers you create with a different file type, will use the
mappings defined for their file type, or will use the global
mappings if none are defined for their file type.
So, if your old keymappings were global and your new keymappings are
buffer-local, the old keymappings will be restored when you open a
new buffer (if not overridden by a new set of local keymappings).
