I want to bind C-c C-t to 'slime-complete-symbol in *inferior-lisp*. I don't know which hook I should use to add (lambda () (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-t") 'slime-complete-symbol)) or whatever else it is I need to do to get it to work. Any ideas?

Usually *inferior-lisp* is in comint-mode. comint-mode-hook would probably work but it's problematic because comint-mode is also used by shell-mode and gud-mode etc. Also note that local-set-key defines a key in the currently active keymap, which for comint-mode is comint-mode-map but of course the comint-mode-map is shared in all buffers with comint-mode. You could achieve the same with something like

(define-key comint-mode-map ...)

Alternatively you can use modes like inf-lisp or inferior-slime which have have their own keymaps (and problems). I use the latter.
