I'm having a really trivial problem, but I haven't been able to find
the answer in the Emacs or Emacs-Lisp manuals. I'm sure I'm just
looking in the wrong place.
Here's the problem: I'm using `read-event' to, well, read a user
event. I want to do something when the user enters `M-n', but I just
can't seem to find a way to translate `M-n' into whatever `read-event'
returns (or vice versa).
Using `read-event' and tapping `M-n' returns a large integer:
(read-event) => 134217838
Is there some function I can use to map [(meta n)] or whatever to this
number?

(kbd "M-n")

Wow.
Anyway, perhaps the documentation to `read-event' should mention this?
Surely I can't be the only one who's wondered about this...

It seems obvious to me at least: the M-n keyboard event is a character,
and characters are represented as integers. Have you read the Keyboard
Events node of the Emacs Lisp manual?
