Redefine "M-p" key binding in org-agenda-mode

Redefine "M-p" key binding in org-agenda-mode

[Wanrong Lin]

Hi,

In my org-mode configuration, I bind globally "M-p" to "org-agenda" (the 
default "C-a" is already used of something else). A problem of that is, 
I often press "M-p" inside the agenda buffer, trying to bring up the 
agenda command dispatch buffer, which actually changes the priority of a 
task. I tried to rebind this key to "org-agenda" by the following in 
org-agenda-mode-hook:

  (define-key org-agenda-mode-map (kbd "M-p") 'org-agenda)

But the above key binding only works when the cursor is on a date line, 
not a task line. On a task line, the old "priority-up" binding is still 
effective.

Can anybody show me how I can change that? Thanks a lot.

You need to bind the key in both org-agenda-map and  in org-agenda- 
keymap.

The first one is the overall keymap, the second is the map in regions  
with a mouse face, i.e. in all tasks.

I think that binding `M-p' *globally* is a bad idea.  

`M-p' is the default keybinding in GNU Emacs when you need to navigate
thru minibuffer history.  In Org, it is used for example when you want
to see the previous link in stored links.

What version of Org are you using?

AFAIK (kbd "M-p") is not associated to any keymap in latest Org.

It is when you use org-replace-disputed-keys.

Thanks for your help.

You are right that my key binding probably is not optimal, but  I am 
already used to it (I used to use planner-mode, and M-p is easy to 
remember). I bind other keys to replace the default M-p function. It is 
a little bit messy now, but that is what I love about Emacs, you can 
make it suit your own needs. :-)  When people ask me what is so great 
about Emacs, I generally agree with them that Emacs is really not that 
great out of box, but with customization, it can streamline your own 
work flow, just for you.
