 feature request M-x on immediate left of spacebar for ns-build
Date: Thu, 20 Jun 2019 22:14:17 +1000

The ns-build maps the two modifier keys left of the spacebar for Apple
keyboard without numpad as

 1) M-x 	2) s-x 3) left of spacebar ; ns-build

This is different to the X11/GTK and EmacsMac MacPort mappings which are

 1) A-x 	2) M-x 3) left of spacebar ; X11/GTK

 1) compose '≈' 2) M-x 3) left of spacebar ; EmacsMac MacPort

Can the ns-build make it easy to set '2) M-x' in harmony with X11/GTK and
EmacsMac MacPort?

Thanks.

I think you want something like:

(setq ns-left-command-modifer 'meta
      ns-left-option-modifier 'super)
      
Or some variation on that.

Thanks.  I did the same thing the hard way by combing through M-x Customize after forgetting then recognizing how I had changed the Hyper, Super keymappings on the right modifier keys in .emacs .

If I understand correctly, this is something we don't want to change (by
default), so I'm closing this bug report.  If this is something that
should receive further work, please respond to the debbugs address and
we'll reopen.
