Problem modifying a keyboard map

Problem modifying a keyboard map

[Julien Cubizolles]

The following code adds a function to the keymap of ido but it's removed
from it later on, any idea what could be resetting/clearing it ?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-key ido-file-dir-completion-map (kbd "$") 'jc-ido-use-bookmark-dir)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

`ido-common-initialization', probably. It's called by `ido-completing-read'.

You're right, it calls   ido-init-completion-maps. The right way to add
key bindings is (from ido.el)

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-hook 'ido-setup-hook 'ido-my-keys)

(defun ido-my-keys ()
  "Add my keybindings for ido."
  (define-key ido-completion-map " " 'ido-next-match)
)
