I have to admit that my current major Emacs trouble is moving between Linux and OSX. Switching meta and hyper causes me major brain-fry (alt is immediately left of the space bar on every keyboard but those made by Apple).

I use the following on my Mac to avoid this issue (I don't use a hyper key in emacs):

  (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
  (setq mac-option-modifier 'none)
  (setq mac-pass-command-to-system nil)
