Emacs 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>"))
(define-key key-translation-map [?\M-x] [?\M-t]) (define-key key-translation-map [?\M-t] [?\M-x])
- key-translation-map
- function-key-map

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 Emacs Keys: Super Hyper key combination.
(Due to historical reasons,keyboard-translate
does work for some Ctrl combination key.
)
