What the f... does RET do?

What the f... does RET do?

[Ketil Z Malde]

I have a problem with RET that unexpecdedly starts scrolling one page
at a time.  It seems to be bound to action-key, with the variable
action-key-default-function bound to hui:menu or some such strangity.

I've tried setting action-key-default-function to
'(gnus-summary-scroll-up) but that doesn't change anything.

Please, help me before I blow a fuse.

Well, Gnus certainly has not bound `RET' to `action-key', so this is
probably some local customization on your site.

You have hyperbole loaded.

In hyperbole.el there are the following definitions:

    (if (and (boundp 'gnus-group-mode-map)
	     (keymapp gnus-group-mode-map))
	(progn
	  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map action-key-read-only 'action-key)
	  (define-key gnus-group-mode-map assist-key-read-only
	    'hkey-either)))

My guess is that you load hyperbole after GNUS.  There used to be some
warning in the hyperbole manual about making sure you did this, but I
think this is only so hyperbole can overwrite the above key definitions.

Try loading hyperbole before GNUS.  Then you should get the GNUS
definition for RET and hyperbole should still work.

To test it click here "~/.emacs" with shift-middle mouse button.  Your
.emacs file should be opened.
