Standard option for Terminal.app?
Authored by: jaacob on Aug 13, '02 10:38:00AM

Isn\'t this just one of the options for Terminal.app? In the Inspector or Preferences, there seems to be an option listed until Emulation. I can\'t recall if its on by default, but this is where to turn it on and off.

Indeed, Terminal.app handles this

In Terminal.app's Preferences' Emulation section, check "Option (alt) acts as meta key". The ESC key still sends META if this is unchecked. It's unchecked by default.


I'd love being able to configure Terminal.app so that the alt key would work as an alt key and the Apple key act as META. Selecting text should copy, right-click should paste. Anything else is, IMHO, a waste of time.
