Subject: M-<function-key> vs. ESC <function-key>
Date: Mon, 03 Jan 2005 16:16:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jeis6ebl0h.fsf@sykes.suse.de> (raw)
There doesn't seem to be a translation between M-<function-key> and ESC
<function-key> for the purpose of keymap lookup. For example, bindings.el
binds [M-left], which works for X, but on a text terminal the keypress
Alt-left is received (after translation through function-key-map) as [?\e
left] which is not bound. Shouldn't [M-left] and [?\e left] be treated as
equivalent keys?
Andreas.
