viper: viper-modify-major-mode

[michael campbell]

I'm trying to customise viper in comint mode. I'd like the j and k keys to behave like control-down and control-up 
in comint mode in vi-state. I have this

(viper-modify-major-mode 'comint-mode 'vi-state my-modifier-map)

in my .viper where my-modifier-map has been set up appropriately. It doesn't work.

But in emacs-state, it does work. I have this

(viper-modify-major-mode 'comint-mode 'emacs-state my-modifier-map)

in my .viper and it behaves as expected.

Emacs version is "23.2.1"
Viper version is "3.14.1 of August 15, 2009"

$ uname -a
Linux sunspot 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 03:40:32 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux


Any ideas?

Michael

Have you tried putting that in an (eval-after-load "coming" ...) form?

I haven't. Not quite sure how such a form works. Could you spell it out a bit for me or point me towards some 
documentation.

(eval-after-load "comint"
  '(viper-modify-major-mode 'comint-mode 'vi-state my-modifier-map))

Untested, of course.

Doesn't seem to work. I'm puzzled that viper-modify-major-mode works for emacs-state but not vi-state.
