That's a good question. As an user, if I start typing a combined key
binding then I would expect it to work regardless of whatever happened
in a timer in between. So indeed, it can be a problem to allow a timer
to set a new keymap in this case.
But if there's no prefix key already typed, it would be great if
use-local-map actually did what it's supposed to do, even when ran with
a timer.
Perhaps the proper solution would involve saving the current keymap when
a prefix key has been pressed, and use that keymap until it results in a
command or it's canceled. If a timer changes the keymap in between, the
new keymap should apply only after any pending key binding has been
finished. Not sure if this is doable...
I'm sorry I don't have any knowledge of Emacs internals, and only
limited Lisp knowledge anyway, but I'd love to see a decent work-around
for this...
Cheers,
