Hello,
I've downloaded and compiled the latest version of GNU emacs on Mac OS
X (10.5.6).
I use an azerty keyboard but emacs doesn't handle the following
symbols correctly
{ [ and \
In a normal application for example I can input { by pushing (option
alais alt 5),
Emacs interprets this as M-5 instead of just inserting the right
symbol.
It is not clear to me how to turn this of.
Thanks in advance!
Pieter

Stop being silly! Switch to QWERTY!

One possibility: Go to Emacs->Preferences, set Alt/Opt-Key to "None" and
set Command Key to "Meta". This has the disadvantage that it interferes
with the MacOS-Shortcuts for the Command key.
Another possibility: rebind the keys in your .emacs, e.g.
(global-set-key (kbd "M-5") (lambda () (interactive) (insert "[")))
Don't know if that always works in all modes, though.
Best possibility: Adapt your keyboard layout for Mac OS X, e.g. using
Ukelele. Your hands will thank you for it later.

Great ! The preferences option worked. Thanks!
