"expect" works both ways, unfortunately - you should expect that European
keyboards on the Mac will not work out-of-the-box for rather important
characters like {}|~[]. Aquamacs fixes this (which might not be an incentive
for you if you have a US keyboard). It also supports a number of other
Mac-specific things - http://aquamacs.org. I understand that some Mac-specific
adaptions are not everybody's cup of tea (not "pure" Emacs) but I find them
very useful.
Warm regards,
Stefan
