Thanks for your fast reply.
Yes, the key has Alt_Gr printed on it. I assumed that the Alt_Gr key should work as an Alt key in
conjuction with non-symbol keys (Alt_Gr-x etc.). Thanks to your link now I know that it has
nothing in common with the other Alt keys. I redefined it using xmodmap, I simply wanted to know
if something was wrong with the Debian keymap. Now I understand the issue.
> ? Emacs shouldn't care about which Alt key you use
The problem is that, to type Meta-x, Meta-v, etc. with the keymap provided by Debian, I have to
use the left Alt key. Thus, I have to press 2 keys simultaneously with the left hand, that is not
easy nor fast.
