Hi, (sorry for my bad English, I'm French).
I have a laptop where I have got an azerty/latin0 keyboard.
I've mapped with xmodmap meta on windows key (it work good) and i have an
ALT key too but in emacs or during the init, it thinks that my ALT key is Meta
and I don't want it, I'd rather ALT do Alt. That's why I would like to
know, where alt is defined as Meta, how does the init work? which files
read it first, the order of the mapping key and the priority.
Moreover, I would like to know how to define key in latex mode (add-hook
maybe), that M-a write \alpha, M-D write \Delta or something like that.
Eventually if someone knows how to see emacs keymap easily?
Thanks in advance

The following may help...
(setq w32-alt-is-meta nil)
;w32-alt-is-meta's value is t
;
;Documentation:
;Non-nil if the alt key is to be considered the same as the meta key.
;When nil, Emacs will translate the alt key to the Alt modifier, and not
Meta.
(require 'tex-mode)
(define-key tex-mode-map "\M-a" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert
"\\alpha")))
(define-key tex-mode-map "\M-d" '(lambda () (interactive) (insert
"\\Delta")))
Just use C-h v to view keymaps. E.g. C-h v tex-mode-map
