It's funny but I've been using Emacs for almost 25 years and still use ESC instead of ALT/OPTION, guess that's muscle memory from using Emacs via telnet session

- fortran77 7y agoThat's my experience, too, I guess it's from learning EMACS and its ancestors on actual VT-100 style terminals with no meta keys.
- jlokier 7y agoAlt+Key doesn't save any keystrokes over Esc+Key anyway, and I think the Esc version is easier to type. Especially things like Esc : (which is Esc then Shift-;) is surely easier to type than Alt-Shift-;.
