I wrote a couple of lines you can experiment with. Use `C-h w' for the
functions and `C-x C-e' to change keybinding.
The local binding will shadow the global. If the global is shadowed,
it won't report any key on `C-h w'. But, as soon as you unset the
local, or set it to the nils, the global is back on. When the local is
set to the empty string, the shadow is on (i.e., the global is off)
only this "shadow" doesn't do anything.
Like I said, play around with it.
(defun test-message-local () (interactive) (message "local check"))
(defun test-message-global () (interactive) (message "global check"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "C-M-w")) ; either unset both
(local-unset-key (kbd "C-M-w"))
(global-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") 'test-message-global) ; test C-h w here
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") 'test-message-local) ; shadows global
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") nil) ; these four - global *on*
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") 'nil)
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") ())
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") '())
(local-set-key (kbd "C-M-w") "") ; this - local "nothing" shadow
