hello,
this is what i-m using:
(setq mac-option-modifier 'none) ;; use the left option-key for typing
|, ~, etc.
(setq mac-right-option-modifier 'meta) ;; right option-key is meta,
option-<left>/right moves one word left or right
(setq mac-command-modifier 'meta) ;; so there is also a meta-key for the
left hand (left cmd-key)
(setq mac-right-command-modifier 'super) ;; the usual
macos-cmd-keybindings work with the right cmd-key.
