Hi List,
assume there is a major-mode that would serve nicely as a parent-mode
for a new major-mode I want to write, but this parent-mode has lots of
functions/commands, and I would need only a few of them - and must
deactivate the others in the derived mode, because they won't work.
I don't talk about just undefining the keybindings for parent-mode
commands, the redundant functions/commands should simply not be
available anymore in the derived mode, not via 'M-x' and not via 'M-:'.
What is the righ/canonical way to do that?

cheers,
Thorsten

Tell your users not to use them in your mode.

Which means: commands/functions are not "assigned" to a mode in any way,
besides the fact that they are used, or not used, by the code of the
mode.
Or do you mean key bindings?
Michael.

I did not really mean keybindings, but I see now that all I have to
worry about are actually the keybindings - its the users responsability
not to use e.g. dired commands in message-mode, and if he does, he will
get errors most likely.
Thanks for the hints.
