Subject: how to get Meta+y to be Meta+Tab
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2008 14:47:40 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <601c6f74-a6ab-434b-954a-3663a58c9f60@t39g2000prh.googlegroups.com> (raw)

suppose i want to make Meta+y to function as pressing Meta+Tab.

intuitively, i do this:
(keyboard-translate ?\M-y ?\M-9) ; Meta+y to Meta+Tab

but that does not work.

i looked in the elisp doc... seems the issue is rather complex
involving elisp reader for chars under data type chapter, Event Mod
under Input Events chapter, Keymap translation under key map
chapter... hard to have a coherent picture at this point.

Any idea how to get this to work?
