As far I can tell, on macOS the
option_as_metamakes it so that⌥pgets translated to\ESC p, which is expected by some CLI programs like Emacs.The setting is named this way because macOS's
TerminalandiTermhave that setting as well.However, I believe that on Linux (and presumably Windows) this behaviour is not only expected, I'm not sure there's even a case to be made for disabling it.
I ran into this because the
fishkeybindingsalt-pdidn't work, and I didn't find this setting until looking at the zed code itself.I'm not sure if zed supports platform-dependent defaults, but is there any disadvantage to always enabling
alt_is_metaon non-macOS platforms?Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
