Delete is rebinded in every buffer to `emacs-everywhere-erase-buffer`

Open ipvych opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

When emacs-everywhere is called from terminal using emacsclient --eval '(emacs-everywhere)' in every buffer delete gets rebinded to emacs-everywhere-erase-buffer-command and it stays so until emacs-everywhere-mode is enabled and disabled manually, then pressing delete key will erase buffer once and after undoing that erase key will return to normal behavior.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. emacs -Q --daemon
  2. emacsclient
  3. Install emacseverywhere
  4. emacsclient --eval '(emacs-everywhere)'
  5. Finish using either C-c C-c or C-x 5 0
  6. Press delete in any Emacs buffer

Output of emacs-version: GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.33, cairo version 1.16.0) Display server: x11 Distribution: NixOS 22.05 (Quokka)

Evaluating (setq emacs-everywhere-mode-initial-map nil) as per docstring of that variable to make it so that this map never activates seems to solve issue. For me this is enough as a fix since I don't use that feature anyway. Keeping ths issue open in case there is some fix to this without disabling it.

I'm having this problem too except emacs-everywhere-erase-buffer is binded to backspace instead of del, and it won't go away.

If I eval the expression (setq emacs-everywhere-mode-initial-map nil), my keyboard is locked when I finish emacs-everywhere and I'm unable to press any key until what I found out is to press Ctrl-c anywhere in the desktop.

I'm using Doom Emacs with it.

For what it's worth, I have seen this issue but have not been able to reproduce it. The key map should only be applying locally.

I can confirm that I am also not seeing this issue in Doom Emacs + Emacs 29.

I'm on emacs-28.3 and Doom. This worked for me: (setq emacs-everywhere-mode-initial-map nil)

I am no longer having this issue in emacs master and 28.2. Since creation of issue I have updated dwm to 6.4 which could have fixed this but I have no idea if that was the cause or something else got updated/changed that resolved this for me.
