Hi Stefan,

Thanks for your reply. I don't mind having to do multiple steps for this.
Unfortunately, the solution you propose is the one I tried too.

It doesn't work.

Although it indeed remaps the key unto the correct key, it does *NOT* call
the function bound to that key. This is due to the order in which this
remapping is done, it happens *after* the effects of global-set-key, as
far as I can tell (at least it does for M-*, pop-tag-mark).

Regards,
Paul
