| | How to make Meta keys work |
| | Unfortunatly, the computer vendors of today, in their infinite wisdom, pre-configure their systems with Alt keys. | | | Since there were computers around which didn't have Meta keys at all, he added the ability to type Meta characters by first typing an escape character, and then the character you want. | | | If you're using X11 on a unix system, there's a wonderful program which you can use to tell X11 that you would rather use Meta keys instead of Alt keys - the program is called: xmodmap. |
