One thing with the countless emacs options is really bugging me. In =20 the OS X Terminal I can either choose to use Alt as the Meta key and =20 shed the means to insert such things as "\", "@", "=80" and so forth =20 (German KB), or I can choose to leave it and then have to use Esc =20 whenever I do a single Meta action, which really sucks when scrolling =20= or doing other M intensive stuff. Is there any more or less standard/default way I can insert special =20 characters such as backslash, @. =80 and others or should I build my =20 own lisp-script for that? Any input is welcome.
