That is I want the "alt" key and the > "windows" key to have both the same meaning in emacs, namely "Meta". There is no builtin functionality for doing this. The problem is that it's a modifier key. You would have to make your own binding for all M- bindings. For example, this makes A-x the same as M-x: (define-key function-key-map (kbd "A-x") (kbd "M-x")) You can see that this quickly grows unwieldly, what with all the characters and function keys and modifiers. -- ~/.signature is: umop ap!sdn (Frank Nobis)
