What? You mean, you're getting a minibuffer? That shouldn't happen.
That happens when you type M-x, which is Option-X in Aquamacs (by
default - unless you configure things differently).

You should try this without any of your configuration (.emacs,
customizations.el and Preferences.el in the appropriate places as
described in the Aquamacs FAQ).

Well, you may be surprised, but they're selling different keyboards in
different countries.
Your Nick "Texaner" suggests to me that you might be German, and indeed
^ is found on that key in the German keyboard layout. However, it is a
dead key, i.e. it is meant to be used in conjunction with another key.
If you input ^ in a normal buffer, you can see that it underlines the
caret, waiting for another key. Try ^e.

So you have to press C-x ^ SPACE to get what you want. And that works
fine for me in Aquamacs.

Hope that helps.
