meta key in terminal
Authored by: didier prophete on Jan 20, '06 11:53:42AM

This is awesome !! An amazing timesaver for us keyboard addicts...
Btw, since galaher started this: is there a way in bash/terminal to use the alt/option as the meta key, like on any linux/unix platform ? (I found myself rarely in need of typing an accent or some greek characters on the shell command line :-) Having to use 'esc' is ok, but it as galaher mentionned, it cancels the selection...

Poked around a bit and found this:

Terminal menu item > Window Settings > Keyboard > Use option key as meta key > Use settings as defaults

:)
