help tracking down bad setting?

[Matt Price]

Hi everyone,

When I load org-mode I get the following error:

local-set-key: Key sequence C-c SPC C-r starts with non-prefix key C-c SPC

I am pretty sure I set something to this value somewhere at some time,
but I have no idea what, where, or when.  I have grepped through

.emacs
.emacs.d/*

for local-set-key, "C-c SPC C-r" and "SPC" and I haven't found anything.

org still seems to run, but some process is interrupted, I think ,as
any function which calls (org-mode) will not run any code after that
call.

What do you think -- where should I look, and what should I search for?

Thanks a lot,

Matt

maybe the actual definition is not written SPC but SPACE, <space> or
something similar ..., even a literal space is possible AFAIK.

OK, I found it here:

  (local-set-key "\C-c  \C-r" 'org-decrypt-entry)

Removing the space between \C-c and \C-r worked.  I guess I really
don't understand the syntax for setting keybindings in emacs -- every
time I do it it's trial and error!

I meant to add: found the culprit by checking the value of org-mode-hook.
And also, thanks Thorsten!

I think using (kbd ...) is the recommended way nowadays:

,----[ C-h f kbd RET ]
| kbd is a compiled Lisp function in `subr.el'.
| 
| (kbd KEYS)
| 
| Convert KEYS to the internal Emacs key representation.
| KEYS should be a string constant in the format used for
| saving keyboard macros (see `edmacro-mode').
