;; So far I have these alternate bindings 
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-a") 'beginning-of-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-e") 'end-of-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-RET") 'tj-toggle-bookmark)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC C-M-n") 'bm-next)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC C-M-p") 'bm-previous)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-n") 'global-next-subroutine)
(global-set-key (kbd "ESC M-p") 'global-previous-subroutine)
;; and all seem to work
;; FYI: Some are wrappers of my own derivation
