Then I discovered that the backquote symbol was not
recognized. Everytime I press it, I get the 'Wrong type argument:
characterp, 134217782' message in the mini-buffer.
Maybe try
M-x toggle-debug-on-error
and see where that error is arising to see if that gives us a hint as to
what may be wrong. I am not sure if the cdlatex code you downloaded has
been updated for later versions of emacs...
Funny, I get `apply: Wrong type argument: characterp, 134217785'
(not `134217782'), which is what M-9 is recognized as:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(read-char) ; type C-c C-c y M-9 *here*
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
: 134217785
on my MacBook and that makes some sense as cdlatex.el uses `(read-char)' once
it is triggered by a back tic. And I guess that `read-char' is immune to
keymapping for good reason.
For the record, this happens with
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
(define-key key-translation-map (kbd "M-9") (kbd "`"))
#+END_SRC
set in org-cdlatex-mode when the first back tic (or M-9) is followed by a M-9
and it also happens for other key events that do not map to characters like
`C-S-s' after the back tic.
So the easiest fix is *don't do that*.
I suppose this counts as a bug in cdlatex, but it seems easy enough to work
around.
Just to be clear on what such a workaround would amount to:
With M-9 defined as above, customize `cdlatex-math-symbol-prefix' to any
of the unused symbols.
Suppose it is ':'. Then in a buffer in which org-cdlatex-mode is
operative,
M-9 : : : : ...
cycles thru the different levels until the user selects another
letter/symbol in the menu.
