Windmove keybindings pass-through

Windmove keybindings pass-through

[Leo Alekseyev]

As per the docs, I have (add-hook 'org-shiftup-final-hook
'windmove-up) and similar hooks set.  That way, shift-arrow keys work
as they do in windmove (that is, they switch between windows) _unless_
I am on an org heading.

I would like to make that behavior universal -- I want to disable any
sort of shift-arrow key handling in org-mode.  I switch windows way
more often than I manipulate headings.  Optionally, it would be nice
if I can map the shift-arrow functionality to something like M-arrows
or C-arrows or C-M-arrows (whichever might be not taken / less
useful).  However, getting rid of org-mode's stealing shift-arrows is
a priority.  Any help is appreciated :)

I would recommend (windmove-default-keybindings 'control) for
`C-<arrow>'. That seems to be the modifier key least used by org-mode
and least likely to be overridden.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this is a non-solution.  My preference
would be to (a) in org-mode, move outline manipulation to e.g.
C-<arrows> from S-<arrows>, and if that is too difficult, then (b) get
rid of outline manipulation altogether.  I use S-<arrows> in windmove
orders of magnitude more often than I mess with my org outlines.
Surely there must be a way to customize org keybindings without having
to source-dive?..

To answer my own question: here's how you avoid clobbering the
windmove commands.  This method should probably be added to the org
manual section which discusses the (add-hook 'org-shiftup-final-hook
'windmove-up), etc commands.

;; don't clobber windmove bindings: code must be placed _before_ org
loads
;; also, the (add-hook 'org-shiftup-final-hook 'windmove-up), etc
lines don't seem to do squat
;; default disputed keys remap so that windowmove commands aren't
overridden
(setq org-disputed-keys '(([(shift up)] . [(meta p)])
                          ([(shift down)] . [(meta n)])
                          ([(shift left)] . [(meta -)])
                          ([(shift right)] . [(meta +)])
                          ([(meta return)] . [(control meta return)])
                          ([(control shift right)] . [(meta shift +)])
                          ([(control shift left)] . [(meta shift -)])))
(setq org-replace-disputed-keys t)

Thanks a lot. I wasn't aware of this method. This will be very helpful.
