;; Minor mode keymap for Emacs

;; Use minor-set-key to set a key in the minor keymap for a given
;; minor mode. 
;;
;; Use unbind-minor-mode to remove all key definitions for a given
;; minor mode.

;; HOW MINOR-MAP WORKS!

;; GNU Emacs minor modes may not change the keymap.  This is why modes
;; like outline-mode and indented-text-mode are major modes.
;; Minor modes could of cause just change the local key binding on entry,
;; and then restore it on exit.  But this will fail, if some other
;; minor mode changes the keybinding meanwhile.
;;
;; The idea behind minor-map is to keep a list of which minor mode has
;; what binding for a particular key.  The list is sorted
;; chronologically, with the most recently enabled minor mode first,
;; and the major mode last.  The key will always be bound according to
;; the head of the list, that is, the last enabled minor mode.  When a
;; minor mode is disabled, it will be removed from the list, and if it
;; was at the head of the list the key will be bound according to the
;; next entry in the list. 
;;
;; When a minor mode is enabled, it should bind all its keys with
;; minor-set-key, and, when disabled, unbound them with
;; unbind-minor-mode. 
;;
;; The minor mode keymaps are contained in a local variable
;; minor-keymap, described in the documentation of make-minor-keymap.

;; RESTRICTIONS

;; The minor maps might fail, if the major mode (or the user) change
;; the local key bindings after the first call to minor-set-key.
;;
;; Minor maps should support shared keymaps for prefix keys.

;; DOES MINOR-MAP WORK?

;; Please report any bug reports (or a formal proof of correctness) to
;; abraham@iesd.auc.dk
