Changing the meaning of all the keys on the keyboard.

[A Soare <alinsoar@voila.fr>]

I bought a Mac keyboard for my PC. It's really beautiful.

http://www.apple.com/keyboard/

However, I do not like the apple button.

So I decided to transform it in META.

I edited the file lisp.h so :


/* Flag bits in a character.  These also get used in termhooks.h.
   Richard Stallman <rms@gnu.ai.mit.edu> thinks that MULE
   (MUlti-Lingual Emacs) might need 22 bits for the character value
   itself, so we probably shouldn't use any bits lower than 0x0400000.  */
#define CHAR_ALT   (0x0400000) 
#define CHAR_SUPER (0x0800000)  <== HERE I CHANGED THE VALUE TO 0x8000000 (CHAR_META)
#define CHAR_HYPER (0x1000000)
#define CHAR_SHIFT (0x2000000)
#define CHAR_CTL   (0x4000000)
#define CHAR_META  (0x8000000)

I recompiled emacs, and my SUPER is META.

I would like to be able to be able to change the meaning of the keys without recompiling emacs. This would be useful for me.

One can add such a thing in future?
