Subject: bug#69786: [PATCH] docs: mention the keymap to add keybindings to for term-mode
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2024 02:39:23 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <844975c2f1ed019fb6be836643e118ed850e0605.camel@yandex.ru> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 670 bytes --]

I've spent quite some time today trying to somehow override keybindings
for term-mode. While time was spent mostly due to some local mistakes,
one problem I also noticed is that term-mode has `term-mode-map` —
pretty much like any other major mode foo typically have `foo-mode-
map`. However, adding keybindings into it has no effect whatsoever.
Instead term-mode has an additional `term-raw-map`, which is the actual
location where one has to put custom bindings.

It is completely non-intuitive (and I also for some reason didn't get
the answer on emacs.stackexchange for the same problem when I was
trying to google it), so let's document that nuisance.

Subject: [PATCH] docs: mention the keymap to add keybindings to for term-mode

A user typically expects a keymap for mode `foo` to be called
`foo-mode-map`.  term-mode has `term-mode-map` too, but for
user-defined bindings to have effect they have to be put to
`term-raw-map` instead.  So let's mention that.
