Re: Remapping keys and creating my own keymap \\ too complicated\\

[Tatsu Takamaro <tatsu.takamaro@gmail.com>]

Yes, true. Thanks, now it works. Well, that's what I have now:

(keymap-global-unset "C-q")
(keymap-global-set "C-q" #'save-buffers-kill-terminal)
(keymap-global-unset "<pause>")
(keymap-global-set "<pause>" #'quoted-insert)
(keymap-global-unset "C-a")
(keymap-global-set "C-a" #'mark-whole-buffer)
(keymap-global-unset "C-z")
(keymap-global-set "C-z" #'undo)
(keymap-global-unset "C-/")
(keymap-global-set "C-/" #'suspend-frame)
(keymap-global-unset "C-s")
(keymap-global-unset "C-f")
(keymap-global-set "C-s" #'save-buffer)
(keymap-global-set "C-f" #'isearch-forward)
(keymap-global-unset "C-x")
(keymap-global-set "C-x" #'kill-region)
(keymap-global-unset "<apps>")
(keymap-set global-map "<apps>" ctl-x-map)
(keymap-global-unset "C-c")
(keymap-global-set "C-c" #'kill-ring-save)
(keymap-global-unset "C-v")
(keymap-global-set "C-v" #'yank)
(keymap-global-unset "C-o")
(keymap-global-set "C-o" #'find-file)
(keymap-global-unset "M-o")
(keymap-global-set "M-o" #'open-line)

(keymap-global-unset "C-<left>")
(keymap-global-set "C-<left>" #'backward-sentence)
(keymap-global-unset "C-<right>")
(keymap-global-set "C-<right>" #'forward-sentence)
(keymap-global-unset "M-<up>")
(keymap-global-set "M-<up>" #'backward-paragraph)
(keymap-global-unset "M-<down>")
(keymap-global-set "M-<down>" #'forward-paragraph)
(keymap-global-unset "C-<up>")
(keymap-global-set "C-<up>" #'scroll-down-command)
(keymap-global-unset "C-<down>")
(keymap-global-set "C-<down>" #'scroll-up-command)
(keymap-global-unset "C-S-<left>")
(keymap-global-set "C-S-<left>" #'backward-kill-word)
(keymap-global-unset "C-S-<right>")
(keymap-global-set "C-S-<right>" #'kill-word)

The keys work. Not as ideal but work. The main problem is resolved. But 
if I may continue, there are some details that still bother me.

1. What if I want not to cut (or how you call it - kill) a word with 
"backward-kill-word" and "kill-word", but delete it (so as not to put 
the words into the exchange buffer)?

2. Commands "forward-sentence" and "backward-sentence" do not move by 
sentences actually. I tried in both Text and Fundamental modes. If there 
are two sentences in a line, they ignore the dot in the middle. I guess 
it is somehow connected with an internal mode's settings (what is 
considered to be a sentence). But it seems logical that when I'm in a 
Text mode, I await to treat literary sentences as sentences, where a dot 
sign is a delimiter.

3. I would like to have my keys working more widely so that I could 
trust them more. But for now (see my bindings above - they are all 
global) some of them don't work. Eg in a Help buffer C-c doesn't work as 
a copy action. And this is not surprising. I understand that major modes 
have priority over the global one. What is the best idea to make my keys 
more reliable? One way is to change all the major and minor modes, but 
it's a big load of work and code. Another way is to create my own minor 
mode key bindings, but I will have to turn it on in every buffer 
manually, which is also not very comfortable. What would you advice?

With respect.

Tony.
