That is, meta /is/ win-key, not win-key becomes alt-key. In Aquamacs and EmacsW32 it is possible to alter the meta key. Surely it most be possible on a Linux system too. In general I am happy with my keyboard layout, however, I would like to use abbrev-mode. Thus, alt need not be meta. > '(pc-selection-mode t nil (pc-select)) > '(delete-selection-mode t nil (delsel)) > '(transient-mark-mode t) Thanks for the tip. As I understand this will not yield C-c, C-x, C-v etc. Is it not just about looks and functionality? > Then you don't have to mess with the Emacs way. I don't mind the Emacs way but old habits are hard to lay off. Again, Thanks! --Rasmus
