Since we are at it, can anyone suggest how to remap the hash key (#)? I
have a powerbook with a UK keyboard. Normally hash (#) is <alt> 3 but
after using the following lisp to remap a few keys:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
;; remap backspace on keyboard to be sane
;;
(keyboard-translate ?\C-h ?\C-?)

;;; MacOS X specific stuff
(setq mac-command-key-is-meta nil)

;; Define the return key to avoid problems on MacOS X
(define-key function-key-map [return] [13])

(global-set-key [(alt a)] 'mark-whole-buffer)
(global-set-key [(alt v)] 'yank)
(global-set-key [(alt c)] 'kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key [(alt x)] 'kill-region)
(global-set-key [(alt s)] 'save-buffer)
(global-set-key [(alt l)] 'goto-line)
(global-set-key [(alt o)] 'find-file)
(global-set-key [(alt f)] 'isearch-forward)
(global-set-key [(alt g)] 'isearch-repeat-forward)
(global-set-key [(alt w)]
                 (lambda () (interactive) (kill-buffer (current- 
buffer))))
(global-set-key [(alt .)] 'keyboard-quit)

(global-set-key [(alt q)] 'save-buffers-kill-emacs)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I cannot use <alt> 3 to produce the hash, so I cannot comment my code (a
good thing, some would say).

Cheers,

Federico
