Hi All,
I'm wondering if there is a way to enable meta key for vim on mac. I'm using it from terminal. I read an earlier post in the mail list about MavVim.app GUI. But I want to stick to the stock Vim. What I have found out working:
1. NeoVim works with <M-x> out of the box. Of course you need to turn on Meta emulation of your terminal.
2. Vim works with <M-n>-->˜ kind of mapping when turning meta emulation off.
3. Vim works with <ESC>n kind of mapping when turning meta emulation on.
So far, my best option seems to use <ESC>n types of mapping. But not sure if this kind of mapping works with linux or not. Also for plugins using Meta, I have to remap manually. I hope there are better options to have Meta natively on Mac.
Regards,
