[Dear moderator:
this is of course a minor remark, and it is clearly not up to me to
decide whether it is worth while being recorded at all, let alone
being spread to the mailing list!
But I still do hope it is not considered a downright abuse of your time!]
I only just started to look into Org: As "OS-hopper" using emacs
regularly on different versions of Linux, Windows, and Mac OS, the
comprehensive cross-platform support that Org promises is highly
appealing.
But trying to use Org relying on the Escape key as 'Meta', I discovered
that Org's support in this regard is currently spotty. While for some
key combinations both the [?\e (...)] and the [(meta ...)] variants are
defined, it is only the [(meta ...)] definitions that are fully covered.
For example, org-insert-todo-heading - one of the very first
org-specific key-combinations introduced in the very useful Org tutorial
- is mapped only to [(meta shift return)], the "ESC-based" equivalent
[?\e (shift return)] is missing (org.el, line 13905).
While I've tried to patch up org.el the best I could with the missing
keymap definitions (and so far I have not run into problems), I am not
proficient enough an elisp programmer to dare provide my fixes: e.g. I'm
not at all sure to have made the correct additions to the section
introduced with the comment
";; Special treatment needed for TAB and RET" on line 6836 of org.el;
the specification of disputed keys on line 331ff in org.el would be
another example.
I would therefore like to ask to please consider putting 'full' coverage
for both keymap variants on the todo list for an upcoming release.
With many thanks in advance!
Paolo
