Ctrl-[ is the same as the Escape key. Which is the
same as the alt key

(ie if you want to go forward a word you can do any
of the following
Alt-f (fastest)
Esc then f 
Ctrl-[ then f

Don't remap Control-[

If you're running out of keys to use, you can remap
two-sequence commands; like Ctrl-x Ctrl-r.

Have a lot of fun with emacs.

Stuart.
