M-tab and Carbon Emacs on Mac OS X

[Johan Glimming]

Hi

I would like to complete my macros with pressing M-tab, but in Mac OS X
M-tab means switch window whenever M is Apple/Command (I like to have
Meta Apple/Command since otherwise Alt-7 does not give me backslash on
swedish keyboards etc). I don't mind not being able to switch
applications in Carbon Emacs, but the best solution would probably be
to change M-tab to e.g. Alt-tab or some other safe key. How can I do
this?

You can type either Esc Tab or M-C-i on the current binding. Other
than that, probably something like

(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(define-key LaTeX-mode-map (kbd "A-TAB")
'TeX-complete-symbol))
