Hi
I use KDE and therefore the keybinding M-<TAB> is already used for
switching between windows. Unfortunately there are several emacs modes
which try to use M-<TAB> for completion (f.e. lisp-mode, AUCTeX, ...).
However, the KDE setting seems to be "stronger" than the emacs setting
and hence I can only switch between windows with M-<TAB>. 

Is it possible to tell emacs that whenever I type a certain
keybinding, f.e. C-x M-<TAB> or so, emacs behaves as if I typed
M-<TAB> ? I.e. I don't want to change the M-<TAB> keybinding for every
single mode, I just want to have a certain global keybinding which
replaces M-<TAB> globally. Is this possible ?

Thanks in advance !
Marcel

Yes, I have the "windows" key on my keyboard. What would I have to
write in my .emacs in order to use the "windows" key in the same
meaning as the "Alt" key ? That is I want the "alt" key and the
"windows" key to have both the same meaning in emacs, namely "Meta".

TIA
Marcel
