keymap changes in run-with-timer

[Nikolaj Schumacher]

Hello,


selecting a keymap (e.g. when changing minor-mode, creating 'keymap
overlays, setting overriding-local-map, use-local-map) in a
run-with-timer or run-with-idle-timer event doesn't take immediate
effect.


Consider the following example:
(run-with-timer 3 nil '(lambda ()
                         (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
                           (define-key map "x" "y")
                           (use-local-map map))
                         (message "timer fired")))

After the message "timer fired", pressing the "x" key still inserts an
"x".  Only beginning with the second time it will insert a "y".


Changing the /content/ of a keymap like this:
(run-with-timer 3 nil '(lambda ()
                         (define-key (current-local-map) "x" "y")
                         (message "timer fired")))
works immediately, though.



regards,
Nikolaj Schumacher
