Question About Nuking 'Ranger.el' Package's 'Deer' Portion's 'deer-from-dired' Function

Question About Nuking 'Ranger.el' Package's 'Deer' Portion's 'deer-from-dired' Function

[Samuel Banya]

Hey there,

I have a question regarding configuring Emacs so that the following function is not able to be pressed with 'C-p':
'deer-from-dired'

Reason being is that I hate everything about 'deer' since I think its everything that is the antithesis of 'Ranger.el' since if I wanted to just have a single pane file manager, I'd still be using Dired.

The thing that is annoying is that sometimes I will use Dired for weird reasons while using Tramp Mode on a server, and more so because there are a few things I haven't fully learned yet on 'Ranger.el' in comparison.

That being said, I keep accidentally hitting 'C-p' which then toggles 'Deer' mode hell which is hard to get out of.

Is there any way I can nuke both the function mentioned above, and free up the keybinding so Dired acts normally again on the chance I do use it?

Thanks,

Sam

Uhm, set the key to whatever you like to happen ... or to
nil ... or to `ignore' if you want nothing at all?

How do you do this?

If you for example never want to view `view-emacs-problems'
and can think of no better use of `C-h C-p' then eval

  (global-set-key "\C-h\C-p" #'ignore)

and the next time you it it (by mistake maybe) nothing
will happen.

You can put it like this:

  (global-set-key "\C-h\C-p" #'ignore) ; view-emacs-problems

so when you see it, you remember what function it was.

Hmm... I don't know if that would help be cause I only want this for the Ranger specific function, and specifically only to avoid it in Dired mode itself.

You look to disable the function itself or the keystroke that
invokes the function?

For the use-case in question, you need to unbind the key in ranger's
keymap, rather than the global keymap
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "C-p") #'ignore)

But it's set in a hook, every time dired-mode is loaded, so not really helpful.

Instead, you can delete the function from the hook:
(remove-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'ranger-set-dired-key)

The cleanest way is to have
(setq ranger-key nil)
before ranger is loaded.

Best wishes,
Thibaut

Hey Thibaut, 

Thanks so much!

This fixed it for me:
*** Force 'ranger.el' to stop allowing 'Deer' mode from 'dired'
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(remove-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'ranger-set-dired-key)
#+end_src
