Subject: Avoiding CLI-emacs character suckage on OS X?
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 01:09:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <41140679-AA6B-4FCD-A954-63CCB2F452F0@demetria.de> (raw)

Hi.

One thing with the countless emacs options is really bugging me. In  
the OS X Terminal I can either choose to use Alt as the Meta key and  
shed the means to insert such things as "\", "@", "€" and so forth  
(German KB), or I can choose to leave it and then have to use Esc  
whenever I do a single Meta action, which really sucks when scrolling  
or doing other M intensive stuff.

Is there any more or less standard/default way I can insert special  
characters such as backslash, @. € and others or should I build my  
own lisp-script for that?

Any input is welcome.

Phillip
