Multiple keymaps?

Multiple keymaps?

[Neil Baylis]

I have two computers: an intel Mac running leopard, and a Ubuntu box.
When using the Ubuntu box, sometimes I use the keyboard and screen on
that box, burt sometimes I access it through ssh -X from the Mac. Of
course, when I do that, it uses the Mac keyboard, and the keybindings
are different.

Is there a way that Emacs on the Ubuntu box can detect when it's being
run this way (i.e., through ssh -X on the Mac), and then change the
key mappings accordingly?

Thanks,

Neil Baylis

The environment variable DISPLAY could be used. When system-name  
doesn't match it? (Runs there, displays and receives keyboard input  
here.)

BTW, ssh -Y is newly recommended. It enables trusted X11 forwarding
