Re: [STUMP] define run-or-raise keybinding with anonymous function

[David Bjergaard]

Hi Tamas,

In the current incarnation the code will not allow this.  Defcommand registers
the function in a hashtable that define-key looks up in order to make the
binding work.  Your example using lambda doesn't work because define-key isn't
smart enough to make an anonymous hash of the function and store it in the table
lookup.  Maybe this is something we can add in StumpWM 2.0 (codename paulownia).

Best,

    David
