A mac keyboard under windows.

A mac keyboard under windows.

[Defacta]

Hello,

I have a macbook and just installed Windows 7 on it for doing HTML/
JavaScript test on IE...

With Emacs, I can't access to keyboard shortcuts as "~" or "{".
When I am using Firefox for example I have to do ALT+CTRL+2 to have a
"~" but when I am under Emacs, when I do ALT+CTRL+2  I have the
message "C-M-é" is undefined".

How can I fix it to have access to macbook shortcuts ?
I think I must tell Emacs not to do consider "C-M"...how can I do
that ?

Thanks,
Vincent.

Wrong keyboard map. Change keyboard map.

AZERTY is not made for programmers, it's made for secretaries typing
French letters.

If you want to program, use an american QWERTY keyboard, where all the
special characters used by the programming languages designed by
american programmers using american QWERTY keyboards are easily
accessible.


\f

Otherwise if you really insist on it, you can translate the mappings,
with:

(keyboard-translate ?\& ?\!)
(keyboard-translate ?\é ?\~)
(keyboard-translate ?\" ?\#)
...

Bonjour,

Why would I get a british laptop if I can get a british keymap by
using keyboard-translate !
(keyboard-translate ?\é ?\~)
(keyboard-translate ?\§ ?\{)
(keyboard-translate ?\à ?\})
(keyboard-translate ?\è ?\|)
(keyboard-translate ?\ù ?\\)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-( ?\[)
(keyboard-translate ?\C-) ?\])
(keyboard-translate ?\FOOD ?\CHEESEBURGER)

Merci,
Vincent.
