- I can't seem to get the Alt key to function as a Meta-key so that I can
- take advantage of the emacs functions in tcsh. I have set the
- Preferences in Terminal.app to both settings (Alt key generates Escape
- sequences, or Alt key generates special characters), yet neither seems
- to work. This used to work fine with my old monochrome monitor and
- keyboard, but the ADB-compatible monitor and keyboard doesn't seem to
- support this feature.
- Does anyone know what the problem is? (I have "set editmode = emacs"
- in my .cshrc). Thanks for replying.
