Implicit prefix map bindings are not shown about emacs-which-key HOT 11 CLOSED

Not sure yet, but here's some more information. There seems to be something different about how iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map works that I haven't figured out yet.

This suggests the map should be quoted: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/PrefixKey

When I use global-set-key like this it works fine

(require 'iso-transl)
(define-key iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map (kbd ">") nil)
(defun success () (interactive) (message "Typed C-x 8 >>"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-x 8 > >") 'success)

I'll do more digging later.

I have always been using keymap vars without quotes and they have worked.

But here is what I tried:

• The > "maps" didn't get expanded with or without the quotes.
• It expands fine in guide-key (But now I cannot go back to that. Thanks to your work, I am spoiled by how beautifully which-key is rendering the key maps :))

I can later try looking in guide-key code if it handles such bindings in a special manner.

If it works in guide-key, that should give me enough clues to see what's happening. I'll check it out when I get a chance

Found the issue but I'm not sure how I want to fix it yet. The problem is that (key-binding (kbd "C-x 8 >")) is returning nil in your setup when it should be returning a keymap. This has been working well in all the other prefix cases I've tested so I don't know why it's different here yet.

Hmm, I am setting it to nil first

                   (">"       . nil) ; First unbind ">" from the map

But then I am rebinding >=, >>, etc to other things. I cannot do the below bindings unless I unbind its existing binding.

                   (">="      . [?≥]) ; greater than or equal to
                   (">>"      . [?≫]) ; much greater than
                   (">\""     . [?»]) ; right-pointing double angle quotation mark
                   (">'"      . [?›]) ; single right-pointing angle quotation mark
                   (">h"      . [?☛]) ; black right pointing index

I don't think that's the problem exactly

Can you check your code now? It should work. Had to add another test against the key-translation-map because iso-transl-ctl-x-8-map is stored there and not in the "regular" keymaps

from emacs-which-key.

By the way you can use something like this to fix the spacing issue (It just changes how the key is shown). Replace "ZWS" with whatever you want to display there.

(which-key-add-key-based-replacements "C-x 8 0" "ZWS")

from emacs-which-key.

Thanks! This is now fixed for me.

Also thanks for the "ZWS" tip. I was already using which-key-key-based-description-replacement-alist but it didn't occur to me that I can use that for stuff other than simply putting descriptive prefix names :)

I like those arrows. I wanted to use more unicode characters as replacements, but I was worried about all the different fonts people may be using and all of the bug reports I'd get.

I was thinking that we could compile a list of nice unicode replacements and then include them as an option that you have to explicitly turn on.

Thanks! You can try using char-displayable-p function as used in pdf-tools.

I use this in my init to take care of unicodes:

• Check if unicode font is available (Symbola in my case)
• Set backup lighters if symbola not available
