I've bound the mouse-3 to a custom function, with a statement 

(define-key org-mode-map [mouse-3] 'foobar)

But when I revert some .org file, the keybinding of the mouse-3 goes back to the default and it displays the context menu.

I have this problem every time I start up emacs too. The init file loads, but the mouse-3 won't run the custom function I assigned for the org-mode in org-mode buffers. And when I eval-buffer the init file, it gets fixed until I revert those buffers.

Reset to default

What is the value of variable revert-buffer-function? If it doesn't do what you want, set the variable (in that mode) to your own function that does.

  • C-h v says its value is revert-buffer--default. Is it something I can change without messing up important stuff?

  • Yes. Don't change revert-buffer-default. Just bind revert-buffer-function (locally - in that mode only) to a function that does what you want (e.g., first calls revert-buffer-default and then binds the keys you want).

  • @Drew But why would revert-buffer override the bindings?

  • @KaushalModi: I don't know that it does. But apparently the bindings are being reset. revert-buffer-default runs hooks before-revert-hook and after-revert-hook, and it can invoke revert-buffer-insert-file-contents-function. It's trivial to try what I suggested and see whether it takes care of the problem.

  • No idea why someone would downvote this. Oh well.
