Add a configuration setting that allows the left Option key to be used as a Meta key, and add support for the Escape sequences that control the Meta key's behaviour. TermWindow now maintains a copy, shared by all its component TermViews, of the current key map, and updates this copy automatically when notified by the Input Server a new key map has been loaded. The Meta key was an extra modifier key present on early UNIX workstations that provided access to the "extended" portion of the ASCII character set. Although it has vanished from modern keyboards certain UNIX software still relies on the key, most notably GNU Emacs and the GNU readline library, the latter of which is used by bash and a wide variety of other software that reads input from a terminal. (Python's interactive mode uses readline, for instance.) With this patch applied and the new setting enabled, the left Option key can be used to access additional editing and navigation features at the command line. It also makes usable the port of GNU Emacs currently available from HaikuDepot. Fixes #15294.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
