Emacs: Swap Keys (Remap Key, translation-keymaps)
Swap Keys
Here's how to swap keys.
put this in your Emacs Init File:
;; swap keys (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<f11>") (kbd "<f12>")) (define-key key-translation-map (kbd "<f12>") (kbd "<f11>"))
keyboard-translate
Note: there's the function keyboard-translate. However, it is designed to translate character only. So, key combination isn't a character and you can't use it for Hyper key combination. (Due to historical reasons, keyboard-translate does work for some Ctrl combination key. (thanks to
