Using Command
as meta
in the terminal is quite the challenge. See #159 for further discussion.
I'm not sure we can actually make the situation any better.
Under Linux, on Ubuntu at least, seem to be possible to re-assign meta to the "Win keys" - key code 133 I think (which on a Mac, map to the Command key). Though interacts with Unity's menu inovcation (which can be disabled I guess) but it does sound like a usability mess....
@tonini I know you tried to use the Apple key
as Meta
but there were troubles. Is there anything we can do. Or is this something that the user needs to deal with by himself?
@usharf @senny Unfortunately there is no way to get around this problem just via Emacs. I just have the experience in the case of OSX and running Emacs in iTerm. To made this all happen I had to use https://pqrs.org/macosx/keyremap4macbook/ and map Command_L to Option_L and inside of iTerm map Option L to ESC+
I see.. that's what I remembered. I'd accept documentation PR's to describe the setup for different operating systems but there is not much we can do to support it out of the box.
@usharf thanks for reporting.
M seems to be bound to Command in GUI mode, but back to Alt in the terminal.
