Yes (albeit in Lisp); my .emacs file has, for example

  (global-set-key "\C-xf" 'fixup-whitespace)

to change what happens when I press Control-x, f.

What?  Margins?  Huh?  Text files don't have those.  :-)  If you're
using Emacs to edit LaTeX files, the easiest way to change page
margins is with the 'geometry' package, but there's lots of
tweakability.  I assume equivalent things exist for other text
formatting systems, but I don't really know.
