Dear Carsten -
many thanks for following up on this (and to the list for bearing with
me!) --- more in a direct/private email.

Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Minor request: full support of "ESC" as Meta key
Hi Paolo,
normally, meta key bindings should automatically also affect ESC bindings.
So it should not be necessary, even though I see that I have done this in
some cases, very like upon requests like your's.
If you try to come up with a list of affected bindings/commands, I will add
these specific bindings. However, as you have noticed, some keys in
orgstruct-mode may be difficult.

[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
