Subject: Re: [Orgmode] Minor request: full support of "ESC" as Meta
key
Hi Paolo,
normally, meta key bindings should automatically also affect ESC
bindings. So it should not be necessary, even though I see that I
have done this in some cases, very like upon requests like your's.
If you try to come up with a list of affected bindings/commands, I
will add these specific bindings. However, as you have noticed,
some keys in orgstruct-mode may be difficult.

this is of course a minor remark, and it is clearly not up to me to

But I still do hope it is not considered a downright abuse of your
time!]
I only just started to look into Org: As "OS-hopper" using emacs
regularly on different versions of Linux, Windows, and Mac OS, the
comprehensive cross-platform support that Org promises is highly
appealing.
But trying to use Org relying on the Escape key as 'Meta', I
discovered that Org's support in this regard is currently spotty.
While for some key combinations both the [?\e (...)] and the
[(meta ...)] variants are defined, it is only the [(meta ...)]
definitions that are fully covered. For example, org-insert-todo-
heading - one of the very first org-specific key-combinations
introduced in the very useful Org tutorial - is mapped only to
[(meta shift return)], the "ESC-based" equivalent [?\e (shift
return)] is missing (org.el, line 13905).
While I've tried to patch up org.el the best I could with the
missing keymap definitions (and so far I have not run into
problems), I am not proficient enough an elisp programmer to dare
provide my fixes: e.g. I'm not at all sure to have made the
correct additions to the section introduced with the comment
";; Special treatment needed for TAB and RET" on line 6836 of
org.el;
the specification of disputed keys on line 331ff in org.el would
be another example.
I would therefore like to ask to please consider putting 'full'
coverage for both keymap variants on the todo list for an upcoming
release.
With many thanks in advance!
Paolo
