I'm using GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.29) of 2010-05-08 on black.local on OS X. I downloaded it from here: http://emacsformacosx.com/

My problem is that it doesn't have the command keys mapped to the normal emacs Meta bindings - it has them mapped to what an osx user knows Command-v is now 'cut' for example when I do a describe-keybinding.

How can I get rid of these osx bindings, and make Command mapped back to the normal gnu Meta bindings?

Found it here: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AquamacsFAQ

(setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)

Yes, Aquamacs' claim to Apple compatibility is that it overlays Apple's GUI's key bindings over Emacs's. Gnu/Carbon Emacs already uses command as meta and works the way you always thought Emacs did. – JRobert Jul 27 '10 at 17:21
Then add (setq mac-option-modifier nil) to reenable the alt key – volothamp Jan 1 '11 at 18:31
