Re: Action key with ivy

[Mats Lidell]

Hi Garjola,

Sorry for not responding sooner.

I'm not an expert on key bindings but I have two ideas here:

  - Since both Hyperbole and Ivy are minor modes they are competing on the what
    binding will take effect. Since it seems in your case Hyperbole's map is
    winning you can try to set M-o in hyperbole-mode-map instead of setting it
    in Ivy's maps. Hyperbole does not change any other modes key maps.

    Alternatively you can try to load Ivy before Hyperbole since the load order
    seems to matter in what gets picked up.

    (Take all of this as suggestions to explore since I have not tested it nor
    have any experience with it. Just read about this on Stack Overflow. Feel
    free to correct me!)

  - You can disable all Hyperboles key bindings with customizing `hkey-init` and
    setting it to nil. <customize-variable 'hkey-init> You are then free to
    setup the binding as you wish. With the down side of having to do that for
    all Hyperbole bindings you want to keep too. But this might make a cleaner
    setup.
