Hello there, I run a Mac laptop with emacs 23 and everything is just fine, my meta key is defined to my command key and I'm happy with it. But when I ssh to a distant linux machine and run an emacs 23 session in console mode I don't have any other ways to access meta but by using ESC keywhich is far from being an ergonomical solution. As this emacs version is compiled for linux, there is no such variableas "mac-command-modifier" and I don't know how to tell emacs (or the console) to use the command key as meta. Any ideas would be just great! Thanks
Olivier, if you log in using "ssh -X" (capital X, lowercase disables X-forwarding), then ssh will wrap an X-window connection from the remote machine back to local machine, and set up any xauth information. Then you can use the remote emacs as an X application. HTH, Colin S. Miller -- Replace the obvious in my email address with the first three letters of the hostname to reply.
