Hello,
after years of having used Xemacs i wanted to switch to jEdit as it
offers more or less the same functionaliy but a more convenient user
interface. Of course i wanted to take advantage of all the (X)emacs
shortcuts memorized over the years, so i installed the necessary
packages. This worked all right more or less. at least the shortcuts
appear in the correspondig menu's end do even work when typed, but
there's just one big problem:
The Ctrl-keys and the Apple (=meta) -keys are interchanged on Mac Os
X - this is rather annoying as i use the very seem key-sequence when
typing shell-commands, so i always have to remember in which type of
window i am working right now.
Of course i could remap everything - but this would be a rather dirty
solution, and the confusion would never end there ;-))
plese help if you have solved this problem, as i am rather eager to
get into this rather nice (and astonishing good-looking, compared to
xemacs) piece of software ;-)
Yours sincerely
Christoph
