Kim reminds me that `keymap' text property takes precedence over other
keymaps. In table.el I have been using `local-map' text property
which I believe has been in Emacs before `keymap' text property came
around.
The edition 2.7 of the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual states:
`local-map'
You can specify a different keymap for some of the text in a
buffer by means of the `local-map' property. The property's value
for the character after point, if non-`nil', is used for key
lookup instead of the buffer's local map. If the property value
is a symbol, the symbol's function definition is used as the
keymap. *Note Active Keymaps::.
`keymap'
The `keymap' property is similar to `local-map' but overrides the
buffer's local map (and the map specified by the `local-map'
property) rather than replacing it.
I now understand the difference in terms of precedence. It sounds
like `keymap' is for overriding the `local-map' temporarily without
changing it. But I want to know more about the purpose or recommended
use of the `keymap' text property. Could someone enlighten me in this
area? Thank you.
