So if you type `C-h c opt-u' it both says something like "M-u runs the command upcase-word" and waits for the next keypress? If it does only the latter, then opt-u is not the usual M-u. I have a Carbon Emacs with opt as meta. Opt-u upcases a word. It does not wait for anything. `Opt-u u' would upcase a word and insert u. I did redefine several keys, with help from this newsgroup, but I don't remember having to fight opt-u. > If I type opt-u u I insert the u-umlaut character into the buffer. > If I typed opt-u opt-u, I upcase the word Then you may have option as meta and M-u as a prefix key. You do not have opt-u as upcase-word. Else opt-u opt-u would upcase two words. > (this doubling is the price paid for the convenience of using the > familiar mac key gestures). You don't seem to get what you bargained for, if simply pressing opt-u does not insert a character.
