OS X Terminal: Meta key + alt functionality at the same time
- by abababa22
Is there a way to use "alt/option" key as a meta key but still be able to use the key to make some characters which need it?
For example in my local keyboard layout:
@ is alt-2
\ is alt-shift-7
| is alt-7
etc. So if I set alt as meta key, I can't make those characters. On the other hand using "press esc, release esc, press a key" to make meta key sequences makes my hands hurt.
Any emacs users with international keyboards who have solved this, please give any tips you might have! :)
edit:
It appears that I can set alt as meta key and then add these kind of settings in inputrc: "\e2": "@" This works in bash shell but it still won't work with emacs though, so no good.
