How to modify aquamacs keyboard shortcuts

I'd like to redefine some of the default aquamacs shortcuts.

I've tried putting this in my preferences.el fi开发者_运维百科le:

(global-unset-key (kbd "A-l"))
(global-set-key (kbd "A-l") 'forward char)

but it doesn't change the behavior of CMD-l

check the key descriptor as JF Sebastian said. But there is another typo in what you have written, it should be something like:

(global-set-key [(meta l)] 'forward-char)

(I am using meta, but by default aquamacs doesn't seem to have command has meta, not sure what it is)

You can check to what the key is mapped by typing:

c-h c

and then the key combination you want to check. It will tell you in the minibuffer. You can thus check if your binding worked fine without restarting etc.
