One possibility that did occur to me last night was that my program could itself introduce a new minor mode, invoke it, and do something to assure that its keymap is at the front of the list. Then it _could_ override the bindings of other minor modes. Yet you did not suggest this solution. Is there some reason why it would not work? Regards, David V.
