  9. I would hardly consider [248] more obvious than
  10.  
  11.     (define-key global-map [oslash] 'self-insert-command)
  12.  
  13. (Note that this method hides the underlying character representation.)
  14. However, you don't need to do this; it's already done.  If your keyboard
  15. generates the XK_oslash keysym, it is already self-inserting.  (If you're
  16. expecting the Meta key to insert ISO chars instead of behaving as a Meta
  17. key, you're expecting something unreasonable.)  See xmodmap(1) and
  18. lisp/x11/x-compose.el.
