Message-ID: <5088C27F.40009@cs.wisc.edu> (raw)
I have a question: I'm working on a (major) mode, and when I make
changes to the keymap, they don't "stick" until I restart emacs. It'd
be nice to know how to fix this, but as I was typing it, I realized
there may be a better way to solve this problem anyway; see below.
To demo my problem:
1. Save the code below to a file, open in emacs
2. M-x eval-buffer
3. M-x say-hi-mode
4. Press [left]; note how the minibuffer says hi
Press [right]; note how the cursor moves
5. M-x revert-buffer
6. Uncomment the second define-key on line 8
7. M-x eval-buffer
8. Repeat steps 3 and 4. Note how [right] still
moves the cursor instead of saying hi
Can someone tell me if there's a way to make the changes take effect?
-----
ALTERNATELY: is there some hook or something I can use which will get
called whenever (after) the point is moved by any means? I will be
overriding the cursor controls, but really what I want is just to
display some stuff related to the point's new location, and ideally it'd
work whether the user uses arrow keys, C-p/C-n/etc., the mouse, or
anything else.
Thanks,
Evan

The code:
(defun say-hi ()
(interactive)
(message "Hello!"))
(defvar say-hi-mode-map
(let ((map (make-keymap)))
(define-key map [left] 'say-hi)
;;(define-key map [right] 'say-hi)
map
))
(define-derived-mode say-hi-mode
special-mode "Trace"
"Major mode for viewing IO traces"
(use-local-map say-hi-mode-map))
