I have bound `indent-region' to <f5>.

All those commands are unusable anyway for they're to difficult to type.
But four of those come with easier to type alternatives, which are not
mentioned there. Why?
C-M-@ => C-M-SPC
C-@ => C-SPC
C-x C-@ => C-x C-SPC
C-x r C-@ => C-x r SPC
Only backslash commands might be problem. They are not on none of my
(German) keyboards. I guess it's a problem of the underlying system
(Windows I guess). How about filing a bug report there?
Those commands are:
`indent-region' has to be rebound (<f5> here).
`set-input-method'
`abort-recursive-edit'
I think http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AltGrKey is obsolete and should
be fixed.
