But then I remembered that "keysyms" aren't really cast
in stone, and
that with a little trickery you can fake keysyms from Lisp. Here is
the result:
(global-set-key '(alt a) [fake-keysym])
(global-set-key 'fake-keysym 'self-insert-command)
(put 'fake-keysym 'ascii-character ?\301)
Thank you very much Hrvoje. This is exactly what I needed.
I think I understand key bindings a little but more now.
