I started using iTerm2 some years ago. I tried the built-in Terminal.app again earlier this year, just to see if it would work for me, and couldn't figure out how to easily "fix" the keyboard input so that terminal-mode Emacs works as expected, with respect to key sequences involving meta. iTerm2's preferences panel makes the same "fix" quite simple, so I'll be sticking with it for the time being.
- eridius 12y agoTerminal.app doesn't quite have the right default set of bindings, but iTerm2 also has some wrong bindings around the meta key. If you want to enable option-as-meta in Terminal.app, you select the Profile you want in preferences, go to the Keyboard tab, and there's a checkbox at the bottom. This is also where you can customize the bindings for various key sequences, if you think they're wrong.
