Re: square-braces-as-parens minor mode

[Noah Friedman]

Some years ago I decided that a minor mode for such keymappings drove me
insane; I may want mode-sensitive commands, but I do not want a
mode-sensitive keyboard.  In X I probably would not use an emacs-only
solution at all, but sometimes you're on a glass tty and remapping keys in
emacs is all you can do.

Toward that end I solved the same problem with
http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/remap-parens.el
which works using a keyboard translation table.  This is not quite as clean
as a minor mode in some respects, but I think the preferred way to handle
remapping keys.
