I just started using GNU Emacs on my Mac OS X Lion and I am trying to ease up my hand movement through various key bindings. Specifically, I want to be able to use the right command key for meta.
The following code in my .emacs file does the trick for the standalone application (Emacs.app)
;;; cmd key for meta
(setq mac-option-key-is-meta nil
mac-command-key-is-meta t
mac-command-modifier 'meta
mac-option-modifier 'none)
(Snippet taken from this Superuser answer)
but does not work with emacs run in terminal mode. The meta there is still the alt/option key which I set from the Terminal.app preferences. When I disable this option key, I lose the meta key capability all together.
Any ideas?
