Hey Racket Users, Just trying Racket for the first time, and very excited to finally be learning it! I've been wanting to for years.
Just had my first encounter with DrRacket, and am trying to get comfortable with keyboard input. According to http://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/Keyboard_Shortcuts.html, On Windows and Mac OS X, Meta is only available through the Escape key. > Sorry to see it's not possible to bind the Alt/Option key to Meta, as it is with e.g. Terminal.app, as it would be a huge usability win; the Escape key on most keyboards is one of the hardest to reach, aggravating RSI the world over. In http://lists.racket-lang.org/users/archive/2010-August/041085.html, a post from 2010, Matthew Flatt alludes to adding support for Option as Meta after a soon-coming GUI rewrite, but I found no further mention of it here, on GitHub (https://github.com/plt/racket/search?q=meta&type=issues), or elsewhere. Just thought I'd inquire again about the possibility. On the off chance it's a matter of submitting a newcomer-friendly patch, I'd be delighted to give it a shot. Thanks for reading, and thanks for the great work on Racket.
