Did you write something like this:

 (define (my-func text event) ...)
 (keybinding "ESC;s:l" my-func)

?

I don't think so. You can read up on those in help desk -- they are
both necessary. What's important here is how "name" is calculated (in
the first line).

I tried to hide that reference so that it would be hard for keymap
users to mutate it. Of course, you can get to it if you try hard
enough (it will be attached somewhere to the keymap that the editor
has when a key is actually pushed).
