Subject: Re: [OT] Using emacs on Apple's PowerBook

Thanks to everyone who replied!

I now have a sketchy view of how other emacs users are dealing with  
keyboard layout issues on apple hardware.  Being one of the oldest  
open source software it is, it seems that emacs usage style has  
become somewhat fragmented.  Having converted to emacs rather  
recently (5 yrs. ago), I just got used to using control keys as where  
they are.  Personally, I also find it easier to use option keys as  
the meta key rather than ESC or command keys.  I use control keys and  
option keys on both sides of the keyboard.

So I guess there may not be much demand for the customized keyboard  
layout for apple laptops.  I was hoping that if there were sufficient  
interests, we might be able to commission building a custom designed  
replacement keyboard for powerbook/ibook to some taiwanese keyboard  
manufacturing companies.  Oh well..  If any of you are interested,  
please let me know.

best,
