That's true for "leaf" menu-items but for menu-items corresponding to prefix keys (i.e. submenus), there keymaps carried by the two menu-items are merged. > What do you mean by "ignore" ? > Does that mean that if I do > > (let ((map (make-spase-keymap))) > (set-keymap-marent map global-map) > (define-key map "\C-x" (make-sparse-keymap))) > > I'might never see any of the C-x bindings in `global-map' ? > > That's correct. I believe that read-key-sequence using this map > won't see them either. Nope. When looking up C-x, fix_submap_inheritance will end up doing the equivalent of (set-keymap-parent .. (lookup-key "\C-x" global-map)) to the subkeymap built by the second `make-sparse-keymap). It's the whole reason why fix_submap_inheritance was reason as a matter of fact. Stefan
