Dear Mr Cheng,

I would recommend Aquamacs, http://aquamacs.org, which is based on GNU Emacs and has been adapted for the Mac. In particular, a lot of effort went into the support of non-American keyboards: I am also working on a German Mac keyboard and it took just one mouse-click to configure it - the alt-key now works as meta while keeping the ability to create {} and [] in the usual Mac way.

Hope this helps.
Warm regards,
 Stefan
