I am unable to isolate a problem with the meta key. When running mg
within a console M-x theo behaves correctly, but within cwm/xterm it
produces ttttttttheo. Similarly, M-q in the console will fill a
paragraph, but within cwm it will capitalize the letter under point.
Other meta key combinations are similarly broken.
What I have tried:
1. Explicitly unbinding M-q from cwm, even though it should not be bound:
bind M-q unmap (in cwmrc)
2. Switching the Alt_L key to a proper Meta_L key and verifying its
operation with xev.
keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Alt_L (with xmodmap)
A few notes about my setup:
- I use a custom X keyboard layout (Colemak), but according to xev
this keyboard layout is fine.
- I have the same problem on an X60 Tablet, an Asus 1001p Eee PC, and
an Intel NUC.
I cannot quite isolate the problem, so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Paul Pereira
