From your previous comment: > Apple does not provide a way to do these remappings on OS X Run Emacs (or XEmacs) under XQuartz and you can do whatever remapping you want. This is how I deal with it. Another choice is a fully programmable keyboard, though these also tend to have nonstandard layouts that require some retraining.
