yeah, thanks Jason. I know about the global rebinding in OS X. I
guess I wasn't clear. I was hoping there was a way to only rebind in
Emacs. Because the whole point is for ergonomics/preventing RSI. If
you can rebind only in Emacs, you can continue to use command for most
Mac apps, and then in Emacs also use command as the primary key
modifier. This way you can use your thumb to press the key modifier,
instead of your pinky, which is much more comfortable.
I got this working in Aquamacs, thanks to Aaron! The magic incantation is:
(setq mac-command-modifier 'control)
Wow, this is really great! Thanks, everyone!
Jon
