I can see that this might work with some keyboards, but I think the Apple one is too low-profile. Also, if you're not using C-M-... shortcuts, you're missing out: C-M-{s,r} isearch-{forward/backward}-regexp (indispensable) C-M-% query-replace-regexp (indispensable) C-M-\ indent-region (indispensable for when M-q would mess up your line breaks) C-M-x eval-defun (for running changes to your .emacs without restarting) C-M-q indent-pp-sexp (pretty-print and reindent sexp at point) C-M-{f,b,u,d,a,e,k,t} forward/back/up/down/beginning/end/kill/transpose sexps C-M-{n,p} {forward/backward}-list C-M-v scroll-other-window And so on. C-h k (describe-key) is your friend.
