output-supression

[Charles Harrison Caudill]

Hey, I'm looking for a way to do the following:

(add-hook 'mmm-mode-hook 
   (local-set-key "\C-\M-p" 'mmm-parse-buffer))

which 'works', the problem is that the output of the function is being
inserted into the main buffer instead of the echo area.

If I run:

M-x local-set-key: C-M-p to: mmm-parse-buffer it works just fine

how should the mode-hook be set up?

Thanks guys

Oh, and just for fun: I've managed to convert my roommate (Vim user of many
years) to emacs as of today.

Go emacs!

You want to defer evaluation of the (local-set-key ...) form, so quote
it with lambda to create a proper function object acceptable to add-hook:

(add-hook 'mmm-mode-hook
           (lambda ()
             (local-set-key "\C-\M-p" 'mmm-parse-buffer)))

You're welcome.
