Dear List,
from time to time I involuntarily archive parts of my thesis when I want
to save (it happens when I mess up the saving keys). Since I recognized
this a couple of days or even weeks later this makes recovering complicated.
Therefore I would love to have the possibility to be asked whether I
really want to do that. I used
org-archive-subtree-default-with-confirmation but I did not get what the
meaning of that one is. When I use that command I am sure that I want to
archive and as far as I see it does not change the default behavior.
Does anybody have an idea how to achieve what I want?
Thanks in advance,
Markus

Is this what you want:

| Disabling a command means that invoking it interactively asks for
| confirmation from the user. The purpose of disabling a command is to
| prevent users from executing it by accident; [...]

For example, I have this in my macbook ~/.emacs
,----
| ;; get rid of pesky aquamacs-save-buffers-kill-emacs binding
|
| (put 'aquamacs-save-buffers-kill-emacs 'disabled
| "Use C-x C-c to quit\n")
|
| (put 'aquamacs-print 'disabled "Why print?\n")
`----
To protect against the commands bound to clover-p and clover-q being
inadvertently run when what I really wanted was M-p or M-q. (The clover
key sits next to the 'M-' on my keyboard.)
HTH,

Hi Markus,
Maybe
M-x disable-command
could help.
It will ask you for the command you would like to disable (in your case probably
"org-archive-subtree")
and modify your .emacs accordingly.
You could reach the same effect by putting:
(put 'org-archive-subtree 'disabled t)
in your initialization-file (if it is not .emacs).
I think I will try this too, because I remember some occasions,
that I have used it accidentially like you ...
with kind regards, Marc
