Hi!
Unfortunately, the default keyboard layout of Emacs binds CMD to "Super"
and ALT to "Meta". While this work when using an American keyboard, it is
not good for us european users.
Fortunately, it's relative easy to configure this yourself.
One common layout is to bind CMD to "Meta" and ALT to "compose":
(setq ns-command-modifier 'meta)
(setq ns-alternate-modifier nil)
Another layout is to keep the left ALT key as Meta and bind the right ALT
to "compose":
(setq ns-right-alternate-modifier nil)
I have tried to convince the Emacs people to change the defaults, but a lot
of people objected, so it was impossible to agree upon a solution. See
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2015-12/msg01575.html for
details. (The thread goes into 2016-01 as well, but the web interface only
shows the messages in December.)
