You have to configure your terminal app to make your alt key work. In Terminal.app go to Terminal => Preferences => Profiles => <Select a profile> => Keyboard => Use Option as Meta key In iTerm2 go to iTerm2 => Preferences => Profiles => <Select a profile> => Keys => Keyboard behaviour Israel ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fish-users mailing list Fish-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fish-users
