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
