I can't reproduce the problem on xterm 241, and don't have xterm-253 available to test at the moment. > With "emacs23 -nw" running inside xterm-253, my meta key does not work > for things like M-x. Instead, the terminal bell beeps, and the string > ;120~ appears in the buffer. Looking at the log below, this is > because the terminal actually sent the string \e[27;3;120~ which is > occurring because emacs turned on the "modifyOtherKeys" setting with > the escape sequence \e[>4;1m at startup. Older versions of emacs did > not do this, and everything worked fine. > > Indeed, if I execute the command: > (xterm-turn-off-modify-other-keys (selected-frame)) > then my meta key temporarily starts working again. > > My normal Xterm settings are > xterm*metaSendsEscape: true > xterm*eightBitInput: false > which has always worked in previous versions.
