MacVim meta key #2

Closed davejacobs closed 12 years ago

davejacobs commented 12 years ago

MacVim isn't registering the meta key. (I'm on MacVim snapshot 60.) From an old discussion on the topic, looks like running :set macmeta should fix this, but it's not taking effect.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

I haven't come across that problem. At home (snapshot 64 on snow leopard, installed using homebrew), and on all of the machines at work, at least some of which have been running lion, :set macmeta has worked for me.

I also just did a quick experiment on my machine, and found that the option doesn't have to be turned on before you define the mappings; you should be able to load the plugin, and then :set macmeta at any time later, and the mappings should work.

Maybe try snapshot 64?

That did seem to get MacVim to capture the meta key, thanks! I'm still having trouble getting the paste buffers to cycle, but I should probably start another ticket for that.
