Unsetting "C-j" Keybinding Bound to org-return-indent

Unsetting "C-j" Keybinding Bound to org-return-indent

Peace all!

I have this in my .emacs to rebind keys.

(global-unset-key "\C-j") ; newline-and-indent/org-return-indent
(global-set-key (kbd "C-j") 'move-beginning-of-line)

;(global-unset-key (kbd "C-l")) ; recenter
(global-set-key (kbd "C-l") 'move-end-of-line)

The 2nd set works with or without the global-unset-key line but the first
set simply refuses to work. M-x describe-key shows that C-j is bound to
org-return-indent.  I thought this might be the problem.

Is there any way to unset this and rebind it globally?

Thanks in advance!

Org binds `C-j' to org-return-indent and local bindinds shadow global
bindins.  See the docstring of global-set-key.

On one hand, Org maybe shouldn't rebind such key.  One the other hand
why do you want to rebind such a common key??

And since we have three hands, here is a way to discipline Org back
again:

  (org-defkey org-mode-map "\C-j" 'move-beginning-of-line)

That's why it's often better to stick to the default keybindings, at
least for such important ones.  "Standardization" is then taken care of
by the developers, not by you.
