To control that meta key feature in XTerm add the following line in your ~/.Xresources file: XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true then you must either restart your X session or type "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources". In XTerm you can also toggle that feature by pressing Ctrl and left mouse button and select "Meta Sends Escape". -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://keybase.io/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
