My clumsy fingers hit 'b' in the Group buffer at least once a day, so I
sit there waiting for gnus to check once again for bogus groups, which
there ain't any. Is there a way I can keep the 'b' key from running
gnus-group-check-bogus-groups? Something I can put in my ~/.gnus? It
seems to be defined here, but I don't know how to get hold of it and
disable 'b' only for the Group buffer:
,----[ gnus-group.el ]
| (gnus-define-keys gnus-group-mode-map
| " " gnus-group-read-group
| [...]
| "b" gnus-group-check-bogus-groups
| [...]
`----
Thanks -

I usually set the `disabled' property on commands I repeatedly used by
accident.
,----[ ~/.emacs ]
| (put 'gnus-group-kill-region 'disabled t)
| (put 'gnus-topic-indent 'disabled t)
| ;; etc.

But that disables all binding, including M-x ... RET, menu, etc.
Bye, Reiner.

Thank you! That works well, and I still have the option to check for
bogus groups if I really want to.
Here's the documentation: (info "(emacs) Disabling")
Cheers -

I didn't realize that. That's OK in my case since I rarely, if ever,
need to check for bogus groups, but I'll think twice before using this
as an all-purpose hammer.
