I didn't start it, but I am the current maintainer.

(define-key ada-mode-map "\M-["     'adjust-case-in-file)

etc

"\M" means the "meta" key modifier; the Alt key on most PC keyboards.

See the info manual for more information on specifying keys (C-h i)

It makes much more sense to learn the Gnu tools, and nothing else, if
you are just getting started. They are free, many other people (both
hobbyist and professional) use them (so free help is also available),
and they are perfectly capable of doing everything you need. And they
are available on all current major platforms.

Spending money on tools is only necessary when you need professional
support, or have particular target needs.
