It all depends on how you want the remapping to behave. Do you want this remapping only within Emacs? Do you want it to apply to things like C-{ and M-}? How about C-x { ? I personally prefer to do those kinds of "inconvenient keyboard" things globally by choosing another keyboard layout (e.g. with gnome-keyboard-properties). Stefan
