Thanks. Yup, it does work. Seems my previous e.g. is not a good one. A
correct one:

(setq my-ctrl-c-keymap (make-keymap))
(bind-keys my-ctrl-c-keymap "b" 'maximize-window-fullscreen-toggle)
(bind-keys global-keymap "C-c" my-ctrl-c-keymap)

BUT ! Then i lose "C-c" prefix in Emacs ! sigh, i've to give up.
