Hi,
I've been trying to figure out if there's a straightforward way
to disable all self-inserting characters through a minor mode, but
I haven't been able to find something. Two options come to mind,
but they both don't feel "right". One would be to simply bind all
self-inserting characters to `ignore', which seems cumbersome and
error-prone, however. The other option that comes to mind is
advising `self-insert-command`, though I haven't (yet) tested
whether that would actually work and wouldn't cause any other
problems, given that it's a primitive function.
I guess I could also make the relevant buffer read-only, but then
every key that's not bound to something else produces a "Buffer is
read-only" error...
Any ideas? Anything I'm overlooking?
TIA
Joost

(define-key my-minor-mode-map [remap self-insert-command] 'ignore)

Maybe suppress-keymap can help here? It does something similar,
although it remaps to 'undefined rather than 'ignore.
