I know it can be used in Terminal under X with special settings of X keymap but I have not found good settings, if somebody does, let us know it here as least for X terminal emulators. Some references are here: https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MetaKeyProblems but do not really offer solution that I need. Here is reference how to make it work in Urxvt: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/6i0k6y/super_key_maps_to_nothing_in_emacs_nw/ For `konsole' terminal emulator it works right away. That is great, but again graphical. Still good for remote work with Super key. For `xterm' this link does not work any more, and I would like to get xterm-extras.el https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/XtermExtras It would be really good that Super works in console without X. Is there any way to make it work? Jean
