Translating modifier keys in Emacs

	;; There seems to be no built-in mechanism to swap modifier keys in
	;; Emacs, but it can be accomplished (for the most part) by
	;; translating a near-exhaustive list of modifiable keys. In the case
	;; of 'control and 'meta, some keys must be omitted to avoid errors or
	;; other undesired effects.
	(defun my/make-key-string (modsymbol basic-event)
	"Convert the combination of MODSYMBOL and BASIC-EVENT.
	BASIC-EVENT can be a character or a function-key symbol. The
	return value can be used with `define-key'."
	(vector (event-convert-list `(,modsymbol ,basic-event))))

Alternatives to 'down-list' and 'backward-up-list' with string-movement, marking, and traversal

	(defun my-down-sexp-with-mark (arg)
	"Like `down-list', but with some differences.

	- Enter strings in addition to lists.
	- Mark inner of the list or string reached.
	- Traverse beyond the lowest level in a list or string and descend
	into the next top-level list or string when necessary.
	- Move up and select contents of the string or list reached when
	prefix is negative.

	;; This is based on a Dvorak keyboard layout and isn't
	;; very comprehensive. The purpose is just to demonstrate
	;; that you can create your own modal editing system in Emacs
	;; using only a little bit of code.
	;;
	;; After loading this file, you can use "M-\" to enter command
	;; mode (aka "normal-state").
	;;
	;; To exit back to "insert-state", press "i".
