It is, but it's *impossible* to make it produce any _printable
characters_ if Alt is involved. (I tried for ages...)
Incidentally, I produced a little FAQ on the subject and sent it to
Russell a while ago, but it hasn't appeared on the ARMLinux website -
should I resend or just assume that it's not needed? :)
Stefan, there *is* a solution if you use the Eleven Megabytes And
Constantly Swapping editor (may need some adjustment depending on your
current keymap):
(global-set-key "\M-q" [?@])
(global-set-key "\M-7" [?{])
(global-set-key "\M-8" [?[])
(global-set-key "\M-9" [?]])
(global-set-key "\M-0" [?}])
(global-set-key "\M-\\" [?\\])
(global-set-key "\M-+" [?~])
(global-set-key "\M-<" [?|])
Cheers,
Richard
