I’m using ssh in Terminal to ssh into a Linux host where I’m running Emacs. I’d like to be able to use meta key commands, but I’m not how to send them from my (local) Mac to the (remote) Linux host. How do I do that?
Sorry if this isn’t exactly a programming question.
Well, you can either press Escape, then the key in question, or in the Terminal.app go to Preferences -> Settings -> Keyboard and turn on “Use option as meta key”.
On newer versions, it is under Preferences -> Profiles -> Keyboard.
