Dear Madam or Sir,
first: I am from Germany and only stumbling through the english
language, so please excuse this kind of literature ...
Some (quite long) time ago one of you guys helped me out, and I hope I
can get a hint from you again.
I am on Linux (Debian 12), Emacs from the repository (28.2), and I am
using a standard keyboard without num block, but a menu key on the
right corner next to the Ctrl key. Since the Alt key on the left to the
Space bar is the only Alt/Meta key it is quite "interesting" which
grips I have to manage using the key bindings with M/Alt with the left
hand.
For the Ctrl key I use the hand which is not busy with letter keys,
e.g. for C-x s I take the rigth Ctrl key and type the x and s with the
left hand, and I think that would be nice for the M/Alt key, too.
As default the menu key on the right produces the M-x prefix, but I
don't need it that often, so I would like to reduce this to M only
(e.g. for M-f, M-d, M-w, M > etc.).
Searching the web about this there are some interesting solutions, but
I didn't find a solution for my idea, additional there seem to be
different ways for Emacs on different systems like Windows, MacOS and
Linux. And because I am not into writing software and have no idea
about lisp programming, I am a bit helpless here.
An entry in my .emacs file, which I tryed, does not work:
(global-set-key [menu] 'meta)
Best regards,
Andreas Diener
