The value of the symbol as a variable is empty: dired-mode-map
I am trying to remap some keys in this style:
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(require 'dired )
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-o") nil)))
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-o") 'other-window)
))
Unfortunately it doesn't work, I get this error
Symbol value as variable is void: dired-mode-map
Which is werid because I have to be loaded into dired. What could I be doing wrong?

The original poster has two (2) multiple [pun intended] closing parentheses at this point: (define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-o") nil)))
- that is, the two (2) closing parentheses at the end of this line should be eliminated. Also, I see no reason to set the binding to nil
before overriding it.
The next is another way to achieve the same goal. Add any additional key bindings after the instruction progn
as desired.
(eval-after-load "dired" '(progn
(define-key dired-mode-map (kbd "M-o") 'other-window) ))
