bug#6033: 23.1; [Cocoa/GNUStep] Feature Request: right command/option bindings

[David Abrahams]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

One problem with working on a Mac is its paucity of modifier keys, not
to mention (on a laptop) that the modifiers that do exist are small
and easily confused with one another.  It would be fantastic if I
could assign the seldom-used right-side command and option keys to act
as hyper and super modifiers.

Thanks!

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
