Looks great. Eagerly waiting to be able to "Use Left Option as Esc+" like iTerm has. Without it, it is nearly impossible to use Emacs.

- zimpenfish 2y agoWas just looking for how to configure this globally. You can create a keybind for every key[0][1] but that's a bit silly faff nonsense in current year 2024. [0] e.g. `keybind = alt+f=esc:f` [1] Which affects both option keys, sadly.
- lilyball 2y agoSee `macos-option-as-alt`
- zimpenfish 2y agoAh, damn it, I searched for "meta" and completely missed that. Apologies to Ghostty!
- lilyball 2y agoLook for `macos-option-as-alt`. The Ghostty docs use the term "Alt" here to mean using the key as a terminal input modifier rather than for macOS text input. This setting allows you to specify only one option key to use this behavior for.
- samatman 2y agoI have this as a system-wide mapping with Karabiner. Complex modifications, "Post esc if left_alt is pressed alone". There's never a time when I wouldn't want this to work, may as well enable it everywhere. Edit: It looks like I misunderstood what that setting in iTerm does. But hey if you do want left option to send Esc by itself, that's how to get it.
