Specifically, I want to set overriding-terminal-local-map to nil in all terminals.

  • I must be misunderstanding the question: at creation it should already be nil, and at any given time, you should be able to (dolist (t (terminal-list)) ...) or (dolist (f (frame-list)) ...).

  • It's nil at the start. Hydra sets it to non-nil for one terminal, then a user opens a new one with emacsclient -t. The new terminal has the map at nil, but the transient map pre-command-hook is still running. So there was a need to shut down the transient map on all terminals. And I did it with frame-list in the end.

  • Sounds like a bug that could affect set-transient-map as well, right?

  • Theoretically, yes. The typical calls to set-transient-map, like universal-arg--more are harmless. The problem with the hydra was that it has a feature of disabling all commands that aren't in the map. So it became problematic when the map became nil in one frame after emacsclient -t.

I've had a similiar problem and found out after studying the sources of Evil that using the after-make-frame-functions hook comes close enough.

(defun my-terminal-local-map-override (&optional frame)
  (with-selected-frame frame
    (setq overriding-terminal-local-map nil)))

(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'my-terminal-local-map-override)

For my specific usecase I needed to call the my-terminal-local-map-override function unconditionally additionally to that, so if it doesn't work for you in both Emacs and emacsclient, give that extra hack a try.
