Here, by default in gnu emacs, the Alt key mapped to M- and the Meta key was unmapped. I want like on my older sun machine, to use the Meta key as M- and Alt key as A-. In gnome-keyboard-properties, under Layout Options -> Alt/Win key behaviour, I set "Meta is mapped to the Win-keys". This resulted in the Meta key being mapped to M- but the Alt key is still mapped to M-. How do I map the Alt key to A-? Thank you.
