More generally, it might toggle betweeen Japanese and non-Japanese characters, but I have no idea how this works in practice. This toggles between Japanese and Roman characters. Most of the Space key is wasted space, which I guess is appropriate in a horrible way. I would love to have this, since personally I only use my right thumb for Space, and all my keyboards show a worn-down spot on the Space key below the N and M keys.

MAC SWAP CONTROL AND COMMAND KEYS INSTALL
If you want to use Emacs but you can’t install an up-to-date version, you have no choice but to grind your left pinky into dust.Ī commenter pointed out that Japanese Mac keyboards have a different bottom row layout, and therefore objected to my use of the word “standard”, suggesting that it be replaced with the less normative “US QWERTY”. Perversely, the version of Emacs that comes installed on Macs 2 does not allow for this change. CapsLock is a dumbass key, and rebinding it will leave you with three “Control” keys. Oh, and then rebind CapsLock to Command at the system level. The ergonomic benefits of this change cannot be overstated.
Second, thumbs can be used instead of pinkies. First, it makes it possible to use either hand to hit (what Emacs thinks is) the “Control” key, rather than just the left.
With this, you can use the Command key instead of the physical Control key, improving the keyboard layout in two major ways. There’s an easy solution to this horrible situation: ( when ( eq system-type 'darwin ) ( setq ns-command-modifier 'control ns-option-modifier 'meta ns-control-modifier 'super ns-function-modifier 'hyper )) Some will grin and bear it and grind through the pain, perhaps thinking that this is just what it takes to use Emacs. It’s an arthritic nightmare, like something out of a Saw movie. Everything in Emacs runs through the Control key, and that means everything runs through your left pinky. No, when Emacs says “Control”, it means Control. This is not normally a problem, as the keybindings for everyday actions on a Mac (cut, paste, find, refresh, etc) are the same as CUA keybindings but with the Control key replaced by the Command key (e.g. Notice that there is no Control key on the right side. |Fn |Ctrl |Optn |Cmd | Space |Cmd |Optn | Here’s the layout of the bottom row of a standard Mac keyboard 1: +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
