#8 missing sparse keymaps in FSF emacs?

[Slaven Rezic]

This is with Emacs 20.7 under Windows NT. If I try to load the psgml.el file, I
get the following error:

Key sequence C-c C-f C-e uses invalid prefix characters

It seems that there are some sparse keymaps missing, at least for my version
of emacs. If I add the following commands, evaluation of the file works:

(setq sgml-prefix-f-map (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key sgml-mode-map "\C-c\C-f" sgml-prefix-f-map)

(setq sgml-prefix-u-map (make-sparse-keymap))
(define-key sgml-mode-map "\C-c\C-u" sgml-prefix-u-map)

The problem is realy that sgml-mode-map is already defined
with bindings for some keys that PSGML uses for prefix keys.
If sgml-mode-map is empty (or undefined) when psgml is loaded
it should work fine. Still some think like the suggested
could be useful.

Maybe the best solution would be to use psgml-mode-map
instead
of sgml-mode-map. Or delete the condition in psgml.el:

(if sgml-mode-map
()
(setq sgml-mode-map (make-sparse-keymap)))

and always create a new sgml-mode-map.

Exactly the same happens with Emacs 20.7 on Linux.

I will add the prefix keymaps to the next version.
