Would be pathetic. Of course not. - Other terminal programs have metaSendsEscape-like default behavior and their users survive. - That option can be changed anytime in running xterm (Ctrl + left mouse button). - That option can be changed using ~/.Xresources file or -xrm option. - Languages that use diacritical marks have a keymap which contains often needed (composed) characters or "dead key". - There are different input methods and programs for entering characters. But the default doesn't bother me. I just have that "XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true" line on ~/.Xresources and it's done. And I can write áàȩęäâãāåăǎőơỏłạȧ from my keyboard (for example). -- /// Teemu Likonen - .-.. <https://keybase.io/tlikonen> // // PGP: 4E10 55DC 84E9 DFF6 13D7 8557 719D 69D3 2453 9450 ///
