I would like to have some key bindings that will insert my commonly
used codes.

e.g. I'd like C-c C-i to enter in an

\int_{}

and have the cursor end up in the first bracket.

How does one go about this? I've been searching for documentation on
custom key bindings, but havn't found anything that spells out how to
do this. I'm guessing it would have to do with writing an init file,
but not sure of the code to do this.

Then you want to look up how to create key bindings.

Then use a key binding to invoke the key board macro by it's name.

Put both the macro and the key binding in your .emacs file.

C-x ( \ i n t _ { } C-b C-x )
C-e

The C-e will play back your keyboard macro. Or you can bind it to a
key, like F8:

C-x C-k b F8

Then you can play back your keyboard macro using F8.

Or you can give it a name

C-x C-k n latex-int

Which you can execute with M-x latex-int

Or save using

M-x insert-kbd-macro <RET> latex-int <RET>

The above will generate:

(fset 'latex-int
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p") (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("\\int_{}^B 0 "%d")) arg)))

Which you can put in your .emacs for later use.
