Basically, what happens in that in GUI mode, the ESC key is not recognized as META in org-mode (only as far as I can tell). > I should also mention that Ubuntu (well Debian really) install a versino of > emacs which is customized and not stock-stnadard emacs.

This morning I have installed emacs from macport (emacs-app-devel) and I've also built it from the repository (./configure with-ns). In the locally build version Esc-Left promotes a header. But Esc-Right does not demote it, it only moves to the next word. Macport emacs shows the same behavior as brew emacs: in GUI, Esc is not recognized as Meta. Weird. Jean-Christophe
