Here's my Ruby mode hook. Note the calls to "define-key": by using the ruby
mode key map, you affect only that mode.

(setq ruby-mode-hook
      '(lambda ()
         (inf-ruby-keys)
         (setq ruby-indent-level 4)
         (define-key ruby-mode-map "\r" 'ruby-reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
         (define-key ruby-mode-map "\C-c\C-c" 'comment-region)
         (if window-system (font-lock-mode 1))
         )
      )
