(define-minor-mode override-global-mode
  "A minor mode for allowing keybindings to override other modes.
The main purpose of this mode is to simplify bindings keys in
such a way that they take precedence over other modes.

To achieve this, the keymap `override-global-map' is added to
`emulation-mode-map-alists', which makes it take precedence over
keymaps in `minor-mode-map-alist'.  Thereby, key bindings get an
even higher precedence than global key bindings defined with
`keymap-global-set' (or, in Emacs 28 or older, `global-set-key').

The macro `bind-key*' (which see) provides a convenient way to
add keys to that keymap."
